Run4Good to make children’s dreams come true

Next week, Reach for a Dream Foundation will be the reason you want to run (or walk) 5km at the Barron Corporate Run4Good at Waterfall City in Johannesburg.


The run will raise funds to help make the dreams of children with life-threatening illnesses come true. The call is for groups of people to compete.

“For every team that enters the Barron Corporate Run4Good, a percentage of the money will be donated to the Reach For A Dream Foundation,” says commercial director Mike Salomon Barron.

The donations bring joy and hope to the children at Reach for a Dream.

Here are just a few of the dreams that can or have become a reality thanks to Reach for a Dream.

Dream 1

Awonke is six years old and was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. His dream was to have his own little motorised car.

Dream 2

Eleven-year-old Mlungisi suffers from bronchiectasis. Earlier this year, his dream came true when he flew in a helicopter.

Dream 3

Lethu is a bubbly young girl who is fighting B-Cell lymphoma. She loves to play and dreams of owning lots of different types of toys.

To register for the 5km race, please log on to CorporateRun4Good.
