This September, a team of keen student runners will attack the challenge of the Gun Run, through the Spring air of Cape Town, not only testing their endurance but also running with purpose. They are dedicating every step of this race to raising vital funds for Ikhaya Labantu, an old age home in Langa Township that provides compassionate, full-time residential care to frail and disabled individuals from disadvantaged communities.

From the Captains:

“On the 14th of September we are Down to Run for Ikhaya Labantu, running to give people a home, the starting point every person needs to live a life filled with hope.”

The team from the Down to Run running club aim to earn R25 000 collectively.

By supporting their run, you are helping Ikhaya Labantu continue its mission of offering a safe and dignified environment for the elderly, creating employment opportunities for local residents, and training future caregivers.

Together, we can ensure that the most vulnerable in our society are cared for with the respect and love they deserve.
