Deborah to run tenth Comrades for childhood cancer foundation
She still needs R1300 to reach the target of R10 000 set by South Coast Striders running captain Mark Smith, the idea that it would be R10 000 on her 10th Comrades Marathon run.
WITH 20 000 runners gearing up for the 2018 Comrades Marathon on June 10, South Coast Strider Deborah Berridge will be aiming to make the most of her tenth Comrades to raise money for the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation by running in the colours of The Cows.
Totally bitten by the long distance running bug, Deborah uses her passion for running to organise a series of local fun runs to allow her to raise money for a number of local charities.
She organises a fun run every Easter time. There was a good turnout for the most recent one, held on the Uvongo beachfront.
“More than 140 people took part and nearly R4000 was raised. The weather was lovely, no rain and only a slight breeze,” said Deborah.

Income from her fun runs, like her recent successful run on Easter Monday, and raffles have started to add up and local sponsors have helped make her dream a reachable reality.

In addition to running for The Cows and their year-round support of the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation, Deborah will also be running to celebrate the victory over cancer of a school colleague Dean Ducroq who won his battle with leukaemia.
