Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I am running the world's most famous - and most famously difficult - road ultramarathon, the Comrades. I will (hopefully) be traversing the 90km from Pietermaritzburg to Durban in South Africa on 28 August 2022 with the Africa Marathons team. I am doing this to fulfil a childhood dream (I grew up in Johannesburg watching the race every year) and to raise money for GiveDirectly, a charity which supports people living in extreme poverty through direct transfers. GiveDirectly is one of only nine 'Top Charities' identified by GiveWell (https://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities) as having the highest demonstrated levels of efficacy. You can read more about GiveDirectly's operating model here: https://www.givedirectly.org/operating-model

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your generous donations!
