When Tendayi Ntliziyo ran the Edinburgh Half Marathon, she chose to dedicate the race to Love Sport Africa and raised R7,000. Her decision was personal and straightforward, but it carried significance for our work.

The funds are being used to support our programmes. For our team, it showed that belief in what we do can extend far beyond our immediate networks. A single act of commitment in another part of the world translated into resources and encouragement for children and youth here at home.

Tendayi’s effort was not about scale or visibility. It was about connection, and about choosing to act on that connection. That choice gave practical support to our organisation and reminded us that solidarity can come from unexpected places.
