Giving back to the community
The organisers of South Africa’s award-winning road running series, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series are excited to welcome Reach For A Dream Gqeberha and Garden Region and the Animal Anti-Cruelty League Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha as the official charities of the inaugural Absa RUN YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K that will take place on Sunday 02 April 2023.
Reach For A Dream Foundation
“Since the inception of the first event in Cape Town in 2015, Charity support has always been an important element of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series. “We are extremely excited to celebrate the Series’ debut in Gqeberha in April and are proud to be able to support two local charities that do fantastic work in the community. We invite runners and walkers to join in on the fun, #RunYourCity and help make a difference.”
Established in 1988, Reach For A Dream seeks to inspire hope and help children to believe in the power of dreams.
“It is an honour to be included in Gqeberha’s first Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series race,” says Michelle van Huyssteen, Reach For A Dream Foundation Spokesperson. “Reach For A Dream celebrates its 35th birthday this year and we are excited that we will be able to inspire more children, fighting life-threatening illnesses, on their journeys of hope by fulfilling their dreams with the proceeds received from runners participating in the event. When someone supports Reach For A Dream, they become a Dream Maker and a partner in manifesting hope in children. When taking on the 10km run, remember the incredible bravery of children facing life-threatening illnesses. We look forward to absorbing the energy and excitement of the inaugural Absa RUN YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K and can’t wait to encourage participants and cheer them on as they make their way to the finish line.”
