Dusi 2010 - Making a difference



Time to make a difference! This year I am paddling Dusi with a good mate of mine from Maritzburg Varsity days, Greg Guye. He has recently returned to our shores with is family after 12 years on Mud Island working in a Bank in London along with all the othe Expats. Dusi starts in a mere 13 days time and we are looking to raise some cash for a very worthy cause.

We will be covering 75 miles (120kms) during the race in order to raise money and awareness for The Sunflower Fund. It only takes two test tubes of blood to become a donor but R1000 to tissue type this blood sample at the required level which is why fund raising is as essential as finding donors. All money raised will be used for tissue typing of potential donors. Please sponsor us and assist us contribute towards increasing the South African Bone Marrow Registry.

Bank Account Name: The Sunflower Fund
Bank: ABSA Bank
Account No.: 4051834719

Branch Code: 632005
