Motopeng desperately in need of help
“This is a lifetime opportunity for me and I’m looking forward to going to the Netherlands."
VANDERBIJLPARK. – It took some individual effort to host a 5Km Fun-Run in an attempt to raise funds for young Reitumetse Motopeng.
Billy Mashiya and Thabo Motopeng recently organised a Fun-Run with the main purpose being to raise funds for Motopeng who will be going to Netherlands as part of a hockey tour courtesy of Blue Running Sport International from September 19-28.
Motopeng is expected to raise an amount of R 68 990 for this upcoming hockey tour.
Blue Running Sport International has teamed up with the DHL Group to select players from various age groups to give them an opportunity to explore. A letter sent to the selected athletes said that this opportunity will allow her to explore the wonderful offering of the Netherlands and that she will be exposed to the best hockey coaching and matches.
The Fun-Run which took place at Pick n’ Pay parking in Bedworthpark was attended by local athletes, friends and family of Motopeng. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, Motopeng said that she was selected for this Netherland Hockey Tour after her impressive performance at Dr Malan Stadium in Meyerton, early this month.
Motopeng is a grade 12 learner at Suiderlig High School, and she is one of the best hockey players at the school to date.
Motopeng told Sedibeng Ster Sport that it was always her ambition to travel overseas one day and that this has happened sooner than expected. She believes that this will open doors for her especially for her Hockey career in the near future as her dream is also to play for the Women’s hockey national team.
“This is a lifetime opportunity for me and I’m looking forward to going to the Netherlands. I want to thank everyone who came to support this fundraising event. I’m confident that there will be ‘Good Samaritans’ that will come forward to help me make my dreams come true,” said Motopeng.
The following details are available to make Motopeng’s dream come true.
