Jerome Mentor running Comrades Marathon so children get books

Running for literacy!
GivenGain campaign by Jerome Mentor
----------------------------------------------------------

The 91st edition of the Comrades Marathon will be run on 29 May 2016. This year it’s a down run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban approx 89.9km.
This year I will be running my 16th Comrades Marathon.

Ever since I heard about READ to RISE I wanted to support it. Unfortunately, I’m not able to assist financially at this point in time. I have school going kids of my own, one in Grade 4, one in Grade 10 and my eldest son is in his first year at college. I’m a self-employed bookbinder and I work alone from home.

When I heard about the GivenGain initiative I saw this as the ideal opportunity for me to get involved.
I attended Parkhurst Primary School in Westridge, Mitchells Plain, so I am aware of the challenges the children face. I hope to raise funds so that each of the 154 Grade 2 learner at Parkhurst Primary School can get their own new story book to take home. For some, this will be the first book that they will own.

Please support this great cause. Join me in my run for new books for children at Parkhurst Primary School!

Thank you!
