I’m returning to where my recovery journey through running first began — Rondebosch Common. On 12 July 2026, I’ll be running 27 laps (67.5km total), symbolizing Nelson Mandela’s 27 years in prison and reflecting my own journey from 25 years of addiction to now being 6 years sober.

As part of the preparation for the 2,000km “Running a Smile Through South Africa” journey from Cape Town to Namibia, I’ll be taking on a full day endurance training challenge from the Celtic Harriers Clubhouse — a marathon in the morning, a half marathon in afternoon , and a 10km in the evening.

As part of the preparation for the 2,000km “Running a Smile Through South Africa” journey from Cape Town to Namibia, I’ll be taking on the full Cape Town Cycle Tour route — approximately 109km around the Cape Peninsula.
