Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, as a lot of you may know I am looking to complete a number of triathlons this year to get myself in shape and to raise a little money for charity. The culmination will be my taking part in the London Triathlon on the 1st / 2nd August.

If you would like an easy way to sponsor me is through my just giving page: MaAfrika Tikkun UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. So please sponsor me now!

Having lived in Africa 18 years of my life I have chosen a charity that is aimed at improving the lives of some of South Africa's less fortunate.

MaAfrika Tikkun is a non-governmental non-profit organisation that works toward the transformation of South African communities by caring for vulnerable children and orphans in townships. MaAfrika Tikkun registered as a Black Economic Empowerment company in 2006 and they have a multiracial and multicultural team. They foster empowerment by providing holistic services focused on caring for children ranging from one year to 19 years of age, as well as their guardians.
