Make a ‘moo-ve’ for CHOC
Enter the Charity Challenge Relay in Hillcrest and raise R6 000 for CHOC to don The Cow kit.
THE KwaZulu-Natal Herd of The Cows have been given the green light to stampede the upcoming Charity Challenge Relay in Hillcrest on Tuesday, 24 September at Hillcrest High School.
The fun relay event kicked off last year and saw each participant run an easy 5km lap from Hillcrest High School. Each runner can nominate their chosen beneficiary from the six official charities: CHOC, Highway Hospice, the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust, LIV Durban, Project Rhino and Rotary International.
“It is a double-edged fun day on the Heritage Day public holiday,” said the race director, Barry Holland. “It is a festive day aimed at corporates and families, with corporate tents set up around the venue and we aim to make it a lot of fun. At the same time, it is a great way to raise money for each of these six very deserving charities, and we are thrilled to have the CHOC Cows on board this year.”
“FUN-draising is what we do best,” said Iris Varty, one of The Cows KZN Herd conveners.

“The school is one of the pillars of the Hillcrest community and Heritage Day is very close to all of our hearts. We plan to get as many teams of The Cows out on the day to enjoy the relay vibe and do our bit for kids battling with cancer.”
Iris said that anyone keen to run in the famous Cow kit will be eligible to do so if they raise R6 000.
“Each entry costs R200 and then each runner gets an online platform to raise funds. If anyone gets to the R6 000 mark, we would be thrilled to recognise that by getting them a Cow kit to run in,” she explained.
Varty said that the Cows in KZN can be contacted through their Facebook page, The Cows – KZN Herd, or via www.thecows.co.za.
