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.

The Cause

We don't race for medals. We race so a generation of South African children can learn.

Calling Cape Town was started by passionate South Africans set on tackling one of the country’s biggest challenges - giving the majority of its children access to quality education.

Every athlete and volunteer takes on the challenge to raise funds for Calling Education, which has proven that you can run an independent high school delivering top-quality education for around R8,000 a year - from 60 learners in 2018 to more than 700 across three campuses today.
