BIO: Please write a paragraph or two on yourself & your background:
My sister Kimmy is brain damaged and I guess I have always had a passion for disabled people.
In High school a friend of mine’s mother worked at ST Giles home and when I had the time I would love to help the disabled folk swim or play basket ball or any type of sport.
One Saturday, I got the shock of my life when my youngest son Taylor injured himself on his quad bike.
A life guard phoned me and said he was taking my son to hospital. I have never prayed so hard in my life.
On arriving at the hospital, I saw the look on my sons face and for his sake, I had to remain strong.
I phoned my boss who at that time was SUE TOWNSEND from Kenza Health.  
I asked her to pray and she told me to lay my hands on Taylor. I felt a strange calm come over me. At that instant I prayed that if my son’s life was spared, I would dedicate my life to disabled people.
TODAY BY God’s grace, my son Taylor is a HEALTHY young man!!
Not long after that I started running races with an amputee Ntsi from Khayelitsha Athletics Club.
We met at the Gun Run. On that day I promised Ntsi THAT I would HELP him get a prosthetic and hopefully make the 2012 Paralympics. 

That was the birth of Guts 2 Glory!!
Every week-end for two years if we weren’t running races, we were competing.
Two years later and Ntsi has a prosthetic and a blade sponsored by Medi-Clinic and we have 6 world class athletes who have joined our cause.
My DREAM is to raise funds for disabled athletes and underpriveledged athletes and help them to make THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE!!!

I AM TRULY BLESSED TO BE INVOLVED WITH ALL THE ATHLETES AND SPONSORS OF Guts 2 Glory!!!!
