Lucille and Kate are training for a 100km charity run along the east coast of South Africa at the end of April, don’t stress - We get 3 days to complete the distance. The run is called Wild Woman On The Run (WWOTR) and this will be the 7^th year of the event. The event is the brainchild of our very own Lucille van der Merwe. Six years ago over a glass (or two) of bubbles Lu and a couple of friends decided to gather some mums and run along their beautiful South African coastline near East London. Once again in April this year 26 women will take time away from their families and dedicate four days away to raise funds and awareness of the plight of those less fortunate in their area.
