KZN will have its largest-ever representation in an annual Francois Pienaar legacy relay to raise funds for education.
Ballito-based graphic designer Dan de Kretser sometimes rises at 4.30am to train for next month’s Mad2Run event, a 24-hour relay run from Johannesburg to Cape Town, to raise education funds for the needy.
While the friends practised at home ‒ lockdown style ‒ De Kretser had the freedom to explore the lakes and forests of his temporary home in Scandinavia, where he also ended up working at an international school.On returning home, he decided to carry on running to raise money for various causes and signed up for the running event of Mad2Adventures. There is also a parallel cycling event, Mad2Cycle.
This year’s eight-day event aims to raise R2 million, according to co-founder of the MAD Dayle Raaf. It is scheduled to start on October 8.
