In my own words...

The work done by the Smile Foundation is close to me – as a baby one of my sons was a patient at the Johannesburg General Hospital’s Craniofacial Clinic, and although he didn’t need surgery, as a family we were exposed to the fear of the unknown and the implications of facial disfigurement in children.

The run starts in the South of Germany, each day running over mountain after mountain, through Austria and Switzerland, ending in a village in the North of Italy. The total ascent will be 14 000m (that’s 14km!) and I know I will have a big smile on my face at the top of each mountain – something to share with each new smile that emerges from the SMILE WEEK operating theaters!

Fame At Last

So as the two adventurers head for the Alps news start to break across South Africa. I went to collect my bike from Bedfordview Cycle's today and Shane was sticking a laminated news cutting about our two intrepid explorers that he had found in the Edenvale News.

Sure enough when I got home I came across an article in the Citizen Newspaper about our ladies. (You can read it HERE) So the money is coming in and we have over R15 000 pledged already and we really could use your help. If you have already donated THANK YOU, if not please do by clicking HERE and please tell everyone you know to visit www.ttmad.com

Looking forward to news from the race!

Regards to all
