I will podcast for 46 HOURS at if we do this! 🎙️🤯
​I’m putting my mic where my mouth is. We have a massive goal: Get and .southafrica a car by the end of this week by shopping on or donating on

​If we hit our target before the weekend kicks off, I am committing to a 46-hour podcast marathon (with tiny nap breaks!) covering 80% of the race weekend.

​Why?
Because the coaches are currently relying on taxis to get to training. It adds hours to their days and hurdles to their dreams.

​How to help:
1️⃣ Grab nutrition from (20% of profits go to the car).
2️⃣ Donate directly to the BackaBuddy fund.
​Let’s make sure I lose my voice so they can gain their freedom of movement.
