An amazing race for an amazing cause
Organised by FemFit Gym Bluff in partnership with a number of sponsors, the fun charity event was in support of the invaluable work carried out by, CHOC Cows.
LOCAL teams competed against each other in an ‘Amazing Race’ style competition held in different parts of Durban South to help raise funds for CHOC Cows on Saturday, 26 October.

“We would like to thank each sponsor that played a role in the success of our Amazing Race 2019. We are super proud to announce that we reached the target of R10 000 and funds raised got donated to CHOC Cows. The support we received from the community was amazing! We would like to extend a special thanks to Sica’s Guest House that sponsored five vouchers for a night away for two, including breakfast, to the value of R9 000. We would also like to thank Nadene Lotz, Nandia and her sidekick Sone Helberg for putting this race together; they did an awesome job,” said Nandia Blom from FemFit.
