Fundraising for Calling Cape Town Challenge 2027
My story
I'm excited to be taking on the swim leg of Calling Cape Town 2027 and raise funds for a better education for children in South Africa! Sport has always been a big part of my life, and I love having challenges that push me beyond my comfort zone. This time, however, it's about more than a personal achievement. It's an opportunity to use my passion for sport to make a difference and support a cause that matters.
