VYF atlete van Kirkwood gaan die uitdagende 44km Addo Elephant Trail Run aandurf om geld in te samel vir Logan Ferreira, \u2019n nege-jarige plaasseun met outisme wie ekstra spraak- en arbeidsterapie moet ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die atlete word per kilometer deur die Kirkwood 78 Rondetafel geborg. Verskeie plaaslike besighede het ook aan boord gekom, tog is meer ondersteuning nodig om voldoende geld in te samel vir Logan se deurlopende terapie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Derine Potgieter, \u2019n ma van Addo (Sunlands) wie se sewejarige seun ook op die outisme-spektrum gediagnoseer is, het met die hardloop-plan vir Logan vorendag gekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het geweldige empatie met ouers wat ook outistiese kinders het. Dit is baie moeilik om \u2019n kind te h\u00ea wat nie vir jou kan s\u00ea wat hy of sy wil h\u00ea nie. Dit is ook \u2019n vermoeiende proses om jou kind gediagnoseer te kry en dan volg die talle besoeke aan terapeute en sielkundiges,\u201d s\u00ea Derine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes my werk opgee om voltyds na my kind te kyk. Daarom lees ek baie artikels oor outisme en so het ek op Logan se storie op Facebook afgekom. Dit het my hart geraak en ek het dadelik besluit om te help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het Melissa, Logan se ma, gebel en haar ondersteuning aangebied. Omdat Derine \u2018n hardloper is, het geborgde \u201chardloopkilometers\u201d by haar opgekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm te cope, hardloop ek. Nie ver nie, maar vir Logan gaan ek my verste nog hardloop (44km).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Derine het by die Kirkwood 78 Rondetafel gaan aanklop om haar per kilometer te borg. Die groenlig is gegee en intussen het nog vier atlete en nog borge aangesluit om Logan se projek te ondersteun. Die atlete wat saam met Derine gaan hardloop is Regardt van der Merwe (Kirkwood 78 Rondetafel), Lize Frost, Car\u00e9ne Norris, en Derick Norris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardt, voorheen bekend vir langafstand-fietsuitdagings vir liefdadigheid, s\u00ea hy trek die keer sy hardloopskoene aan want hy hou van uitdagings vir \u2019n goeie doel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit gaan ook vir ons oor bewusmaking van outisme. Baie mense weet nie regtig wat outisme is nie en dink \u2019n kind is net stout,\u201d s\u00ea Regardt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Logan se ouers, Rikus en Melissa Ferreira is die atlete, borge, en ondersteuners baie dankbaar vir wat hulle aanpak om hul seun te help. Veral as dit kom by bewusmaking oor outisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLogan is ongelukkig hoog op die spektrum en kan nie praat nie, maar ons begin vordering in sy klanke hoor. Alhoewel ons die afgelope jaar met hom aanlyn-spraakterapie doen, sal die fondse gebruik word vir ekstra spraak- en arbeidsterapie wat beslis sal help,\u201d s\u00ea Melissa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Running For Logan atlete spring op 18 Maart om 07:00 by die Addo Olifantpark se Kabouga-hek in die Zuurberge weg en volg dan \u2019n 44km roete wat klim tot 1 750-meter bo seespie\u00ebl deur die berge tot by die Zuurberg Mountain Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
