Please, we need support

LI Ngema, Coach, Lindokuhle Athletics Club, Mondlo, writes:-

WE, the youth of Mondlo and Vryheid, emerging from underprivileged families, and as teenagers who are eager to pursue a sporting career in athletics, humbly request your support. We are learners from different schools, and the success of the Club will keep us away from the streets, laziness and drugs.

Our wish is that our best 15 athletes can take part in the Mandela Marathon. It is to be run on Sunday, August 30, in Pietermaritzburg (Howick), starting at 6:30am.

We desperately need and are pleading for the following, or funds for the following:

Transport, running shoes, sports bags, permanent licences, club affiliation fee, assistance in regards to entry fees for the road race.

We are an active group of teenagers who have already taken part in some athletics events, but we are not yet affiliated with KZNA due to a lack of funds. We exist to encourage and facilitate excellence. We want to provide an avenue for athletes with talent who deserve to reach their full potential.

Our Club consists of 137 members at present, including people who have different disabilities who are striving for excellence. We believe we are all created for greatness and better things.

We would be grateful if our request for assistance is considered favourably, making our dreams come true.
