Hi everyone! The quarter life crisis has arrived before its due date - so it’s time to do a half marathon! My dad and I will be running together (which means I’m going to have to do some serious training) and we are hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Children’s Hospital Trust in South Africa. By donating, you can help us to support South Africa’s first, standalone, specialist paediatric hospital and its 250000 annual patients. Most of these patients are from South Africa’s poorest communities, though others travel across the continent to receive specialist care.

This cause is very close to my family’s hearts. As a child, my sister spent a lot of time in paediatric hospitals, healthcare which we are very lucky to have access to. Without such healthcare our lives would have looked very different and Sophia would not have been given the chance to thrive. Having access to paediatric healthcare is so important, and being able to support this charity is a great privilege, especially as the hospital is based in my Dad’s hometown of Cape Town.

Any donation you can make will be greatly appreciated and is going to a fantastic cause! If nothing else, it will help push me through 21km in zone 5 heart rate x
