Just Breathe Fund
From 20 – 23 February , I will be joining a group of 15 friends and family members as Team Just Breathe in undertaking the Wild Coast Challenge, running 120km over 3 days along the rugged beauty of the Wild Coast, from The Haven to Chintsa, all to raise funds for the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in honour of our precious and dearly missed Connor Weber, my cousin’s little boy, who tragically drowned in December 2017.
When we lost Connor, the silver lining to that painful experience was the care of the ICU staff at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, the first stand-alone tertiary hospital, exclusively for children, in sub-Saharan Africa. It truly is an awe inspiring place, with the most incredible people working tirelessly every day in extremely challenging conditions to care for and save thousand’s of children, always with dedication, compassion and the utmost care and respect for the devastated families. We have committed our lives to doing what we can to help this institution that helps people, like us, in their times of greatest need.
