Eighteen months after a life-threatening fall on Table Mountain, Tania Morkel is climbing the peak 64 times in 64 days to raise funds for the Wilderness Search & Rescue (WSAR) team who saved her life.
Eighteen months after surviving a near-fatal fall on Table Mountain , Cape Town woman Tania Morkel is climbing the iconic peak 64 times in 64 days—a mission of gratitude to raise funds for the Wilderness Search & Rescue team who raced against time to save her life.
Tania’s injuries were extensive and life-threatening: multiple spinal fractures and two lumbar burst fractures, a fractured skull, a brain haemorrhage, several broken ribs, a punctured lung, a lacerated kidney and spleen, and damage to her liver. ‘I was extremely fortunate to be surrounded by world-class doctors, physiotherapists, other medical professionals, my family and friends, and hundreds of people worldwide who constantly prayed for my healing.’ says Tania.
Having previously served as a wildfire fighter with Volunteer Wildfire Services , she understands the dedication and personal sacrifices these volunteers make when responding to emergencies. WSAR relies primarily on volunteers who contribute their time and expertise while often purchasing their own equipment, including radios, backpacks, and uniforms.
