And meeting many awesome people on the beach was very special.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was given a hero\u2019s welcome. \u201cThe highlight was achieving, and exceeding, our fundraising goal of R160 000 for the SPCA. I can\u2019t thank everyone enough for donating and for the incredible support leading up to the day. My heart is overflowing with gratitude and happiness!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement the SPCA expressed heart-warming words of gratitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank you, Howard!\u201d it stated. \u201cYou have touched hearts, inspired many, and have made a big difference for the animals in our care. You are our hero, with every stroke, enduring the cold water, waves and currents you were saving lives. A huge thank you to all who have supported Howard\u2019s incredible effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked what\u2019s next, the record-breaking athlete said he won\u2019t rule out further Robben Island crossings, but mentioned he was looking forward to a \u201cSurf &amp; Turf\u201d challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn November, a friend and I will be on our mountain bikes for Wines2Whales, a three-day stage race, for the Cape of Good Hope SPCA,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd in December, a group of friends and I will swim 20 km from Gordon\u2019s Bay to Rooi Els for a children\u2019s charity to be announced soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_6d83f249\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"
