Springs residents enjoyed a fund-raising event in aid of Mefiboset Centre at Dr Johan Jurgens High School hostel in Lodeyko on Saturday.

The Mefiboset Centre is a non-profit organisation which takes care of children who are mentally challenged.

The 80 people who supported the fund-raising breakfast were entertained by singer Eugene van Rensburg and guest speaker Jacques Terblanche.

Jacques, who was born with a muscle defect, walks with a walking ring but says he has a lot to be grateful for, therefore he shares his story with others all over South Africa.

His talk to the guests was about appreciation and the lessons there are to learn in life, irrespective of your disability.
