Sure Guernsey Marathon 2025 · 6 April 2025

The townships of the Cape Flats exist on a vast plain to the north of Cape Town and have a reputation for violence, crime, drugs and unemployment. Gang mentality scores. Family can be undervalued. Love can be absent. The vision of Goal50 is to support an on-the-ground team working toward change in community where relationships are valued and individuals prosper. Goal50 provides resources for GCU - a Cape Town charity that began in the year 2001. What started as an activity that rescued street children through the universal language of football, has now become a life support operation impacting on nearly 5,000 people each week. The chart in the section headed Projects demonstrates how donations impact on the community.

Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. Your support means the world to me as I prepare for the Sure Guernsey Marathon on April 6, 2025.

This event is not just a personal challenge; it is an opportunity to raise funds for Goal50, a cause that is close to my heart.

This year, I'm taking on an incredible challenge: running the Guernsey marathon. But this isn’t just about personal goals—it's about making a difference for those who need it most.

Goal50 is a charity dedicated to transforming lives in a community in Cape Town, South Africa. Their work provides educational opportunities, safe spaces, and support systems for children and communities affected by poverty, violence, and unemployment.

As I train for this marathon, I reflect on the resilience of the children Goal50 helps. Their fight to overcome life's hardships is far greater than my battle to reach the finish line. With each mile, I run for their dreams, their education, and their brighter futures.

Your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter the size, helps build a foundation of hope and opportunity for these children. Together, we can help Goal50 continue their amazing work and empower young lives.

Please join me on this journey—let’s run for hope, for change, and for a better tomorrow

Every step I take during this marathon will be dedicated to those who need our help the most. The work that Goal50 does is vital in making a difference in the lives of children without access to basic amenities, and your contributions will directly support their mission. Together, we can create positive change and uplift those who are facing challenges.

I am aiming to raise £500 to ensure that Goal50 can continue its important work. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a significant impact.

Please consider supporting this cause by donating through JustGiving. It’s simple, fast, and secure – your details are safe with them, and they will send your money directly to the charity. Let’s make every mile count together!
