Charity 8 Challenge 2025

Katjana Ott is raising funds for CANSA

My name is Kat. I am 42 years old, I am a proud mother of three wonderful girls and a devoted wife. Leading an active and healthy lifestyle has always been a priority in my life, not only for my own well-being but also to set a positive example for my family.

Recently, I have embarked on a deeply personal journey to support a cause that is very close to my heart. Having experienced the pain of having a seriously ill child and tragically losing a child myself, I understand firsthand the unimaginable challenges and heartache that families face during such times. It is this experience that has fueled my passion for helping others who find themselves in similar circumstances.

I have decided to take on a significant challenge - participating in the "Midmar 8 Mile Charity Swim" to support the Children with Cancer (CHOC) charity. CHOC, which stands for Children with Cancer, is an organization that provides vital support to families going through the unthinkable journey of childhood cancer. Their tireless efforts in helping mothers, fathers, and families during these difficult times are truly inspiring.

This swim is no small feat for me, but the motivation I draw from these brave children and their families is what drives me to push beyond my comfort zone. The thought of the hardships they endure and the strength they exhibit in the face of adversity is a constant reminder that we can make a difference, no matter how big or small.

I am reaching out to you because I believe that with your support, we can amplify the impact we make for CHOC and the families they assist. I kindly request your sponsorship for my charity swim. Your contribution will not only help me reach my fundraising goal but, more importantly, it will directly contribute to CHOC's mission of providing essential support and assistance to families dealing with childhood cancer.

Your generous support can come in many forms, whether it's a financial contribution or assistance in raising awareness about this important cause. Any support you can provide will be greatly appreciated, and it will go a long way in making a positive difference in the lives of these precious souls and their families.

I am more than willing to provide you with further details about the charity swim and how your sponsorship will be used. Your support will not only mean a lot to me personally but will also make a significant impact on the lives of those who need it the most.

Thank you for support.
