A 1040km Run

Robert had the following to say after this incredible feat – running for our elephants:

‘I don’t know how to sum this all up, I will try however.

This was it, how it all ended, atop the Zuurberg Mountains on Saturday at 19:30 with a tiny crowd & pretty much only your closest & dearest with you. To say it was special is a huge understatement!

Finishing my first 100miler, completing 29.5hrs straight on our feet, running for conservation, raising over 30k, finishing with Roy right next to me & Coenie just behind us (we spent basically the entire 160kms together), finishing 1040kms from Cape Town to this finish line, the culmination of 22 days straight of waking up & relentlessly just putting one foot in front of the other – be it cold, hot, wet, dry, tired, over it, sore – no matter, I kept moving & arrived here at my last step – the proudest moment of my life. Hands down.

Thank you to so many people for making this dream of mine come true. Where do I start, where do I end – The list is absolutely endless (more to come in the next few posts). The support has been out of this world! Thank you everyone!!!

Back to life as we know it to scheme the next journey & the next avenue where I can try make some difference – for life as I know it will never be the same.
