Heroine's welcome for 2 MUT Miler runners
George Herald
|George Herald
While running partners Gaelyn Slabber-Postma and Gillian Lupton-Smith were recovering last week from a weekend of running the Mountain Ultra Trail (MUT) Miler by UTMB, four more women were brought off the streets of George into the circle of safety at Wild Mongoo, whose mission it is to empower vulnerable women facing poverty, abuse and violence.
Dit is oomblikke soos hierdie wat Slabber-Postma en Lupton-Smith gehelp het om vas te byt toe hulle verlede jaar George Peak geoefen het, en nou weer vanjaar toe hulle die uitmergelende 163 km van die Miler in die Outeniqua-berge aangepak het. Hulle wil hê hul deelname aan ultralangafstand-byeenkomste moet oor meer as net 'n persoonlike uitdaging of vir die liefde van hardloop gaan, en daarom dek hulle al daardie kilometers in die hoop om die vroue van Wild Mongoo te beïnvloed deur fondse en bewustheid in te samel.
Hulle het 'n heldin se verwelkoming op die klank van "Chariots of Fire" ontvang tydens 'n besoek aan die organisasie op Donderdag 29 Mei, toe hulle met die vroue oor hul wedloop gesels het, wat ten minste een of twee geïnspireer het om by die plaaslike parkrun aan te sluit.
