THE 2018 Comrades Marathon was the first year that the CHOC Cows were one of the official race charities and the overwhelming support exceeded all expectations as they raised R1.4 million for childhood cancer.
“We were the top charity at this year’s Comrades and it is a badge that we are going to wear with pride. We had no idea what an incredible impact this event would have for our charity, not only in terms of funds raised by our amazing Comrades Cows, but also the invaluable awareness created by the great number of runners in cow print as well as the support stations at Hillcrest and 45th Cutting,” said Karen Saunders.

“We could not have achieved any of this without our wonderful runners and their supportive families and friends, our volunteers who assisted at the Expo as well as on race day, and, of course, the team from CHOC KZN, who manned the Pietermaritzburg registration venue as well as the very successful activation station at 45th Cutting,” Saunders said.
