News: Day 3

I have been blogging this past week, from my very warm office, with info received from the team via cellphone photos and telephone calls, don't you just love technology. Today i will be joining them to get first hand experience of this amazing thing they are doing. I have been overwhelmed by the response and support we got from all our friends, business colleagues and family, donations, emails of supports and regular phone call.

The next time i blog it will be from within the hub of activity. You can follow us on tweeting more regularly from there later this afternoon, the Facebook group and the blog.

In the words of the CANSA newsletter last year : “Many people thought this was just another excuse to ‘get away from home,’ but the sponsorships from Metropolitan and Rola Motor Group, as well as all the coverage received over the past years, proved everybody wrong. This challenge is not a race, it is a handful of volunteers participating in an event as proud ambassadors for CANSA.

And proud volunteers they are. After a challenging day yesterday and a very successful auction last night at the Misverstand Dam, the guys albeit a little stiff, but totally inspired, are on their way for the 3rd leg of the race (90kms), from the dam to the Rivera Hotel in Velddrif, ETA 15h30 round about.

Tonight's auction and dinner will take place at the Long Acres Wine Estate in Langebaan.

Thanks to De Villiers Botha and oom Joe Marinkowitz who both pledged a R1000 last night, and paid in the money this morning.

Also a great thank you for the 2 items from Bespoke Mitat (die Pasella slippers)

Program for the next 3 day's challenge now posted.

Thanks again for all your support, keep it coming. They guys need it, it is cold, it is wet, but they are on a high!
