It was entirely by chance that I saw the hidden plight of South Africans and the hundreds of thousands of them intentionally made destitute by poverty. But even that slight chance wouldn't have existed had it not been for the hard work and dedication of Leigh and the South African Family Relief Project.



I was fortunate enough to be able to raise some awareness of them when I swam, ran and biked through what has been voted the hardest triathlon in the world. But that was just a game compared to the hard work put in by the SAFRP volunteers who have given their own homes and food, and in some cases had their lives seriously threatened in an effort to selflessly help the forgotten children.
