THE annual Wild Buggers Charity Run needs your help to give brave laaities the ride of their lives this Sunday.
Organisers are calling on the public to stiek uit with their beach buggies, jeeps, or any drop-top ride to give terminally-ill kids a fun ride.
President of the Wild Buggers Beach Buggy Club says this year they are helping 16 boys and girls to live a little and feel the wind in their hair as they tour the Cape in the ultimate fun car.
He says: “The list of children we received from Reach for a Dream keeps changing - not because they’re getting better - but because they’re leaving us too soon.
“Initially, we were given a list of 12 children. Then, heartbreakingly, three of them passed away. We got a new list of 9 children, but again, one of those little fighters didn’t make it.
“Now, they’ve managed to find more kids, bringing our list up to 16 brave little souls.
“And the truth is… for many of them, this might be their last chance to experience joy,
laughter, and freedom and feel the wind in their hair of a carefree day. Let’s make it count!”
If you are keen to help out, join the fun at Plattekloof Spar this Sunday at 8.30am before riding off to the Killarney Raceway.
Michelle Jenkins adds that if you can’t join and would like to donate, you can call her on 071 634 0780 or email anton@wildbuggers.co.za.
