All systems go for the Midmar Mile
Take on the Midmar Mile and support the Sunflower Fund's Miles4Marrow Campaign.
IT’S all systems go for the Midmar Mile on Saturday, 8 and Sunday, 9 February, as swimmers prepare for The Sunflower Fund’s Miles4Marrow Campaign.
Each swimmer involved obtains sponsorship per mile covered with some swimmers even taking on the longer distances on Monday, 10 February to raise much needed funds. According to Stephanie Berry, PR and events specialist in Durban, the Midmar Mile is the world’s largest open water swimming race and also happens to be the most prestigious swimming race in South Africa.
“It is both heart-warming and encouraging to see sportsmen and women eagerly supporting the Fund by doing the activity they are so passionate about. The funds they raise allow us to recruit more donors to the SABMR, bringing hope to all the patients who are so desperately searching for their perfect donor match.” said Stephanie.
Anyone swimming the Midmar Mile who would like to do it for a worthy cause, or anyone who wants to support this campaign, should contact Allison Naidoo on 031 266 1148 or email allison@sunflowerfund.org.za
