I have never done the Midmar Mile before, let alone 8 Mile so I am looking forward to the challenge. Having said that, I had never paddled before and after a bit of training, I did Dusi in 2016. I had also never done a triathlon (or ridden a bike since school days!) and after entering my first tri in November 2016 I did Durban 70.3 Half Iron Man in June 2017. Swimming is my favourite discipline and I am more comfortable in water than on land, I am looking forward to training for the 8 Mile event.
I am excited and honoured to be swimming for CANSA, a non-profit organization that goes above and beyond for all those affected by cancer. I would be grateful if you could pledge a donation either in your personal capacity or as a company to support my effort to raise funds for CANSA.
I thank you in anticipation for your contribution!
