Newsletter #8 - September 2018
100 Miles and More For CANSA
Jennifer Scharpe-Scott
In our previous newsletter we reported on Jennifer’s achievement: On 7, 8 and 9 August 2018 Jennifer ran from Sasolburg to Parys (approximately 45km) then from Parys to Potchefstroom (approximately 54km) and finally from Potchefstroom to Klerksdorp (approximately 51km).
Her comments after the run: I loved it and glad I did it, and I realised: “When you have gone so far that you cannot manage one more step, then you have gone just half the distance that you are capable of. It is here that you learn something about yourself and your view of life”.
