I’m Geldré Potgieter, a runner who has run across the world, but now I'm on a mission to turn every step into purpose. This isn’t about medals, it’s about gratefulness for God's grace and expressing my ability to run through faith in motion.
I’m striving to run 7 marathons across the 7 Wonders of the World to raise awareness and support for people living with disabilities.
While my suffering in training and in the race is a choice, their daily suffering and struggles never were.
Through this journey, I aim to raise awareness about the unseen sacrifices, struggles, and cruelty they face every day, and invite the world to join me in raising money to ease their struggles and needs.
Eljada Aftercare is a registered facility providing full-time care for up to 100 adults with intellectual disabilities. For many, this is their lifelong home; others visit their families occasionally, while very few vist the centre during the day and return home in the evenings.
