#RunForHope in support of AfriForum’s Trauma Support Unit

AfriForum’s Trauma Support Unit launched the #RunForHope project in 2019 to generate funds and create awareness for the victim support fund.

After a team of runners and supporters took to the roads of the Free State, we know that the project is successful. Thanks to donations and wonderful sponsors, more than R85 000 was collected, as well as R60 000 sponsorships that made #RunForHope 2019 possible. By creating awareness on social media, we reached more than 100 000 people!

This was just the beginning, however, because #RunForHope will now happen every year. Watch this space!

Thank you to everyone who was involved in #RunForHope!

Stand together with victims of violent crime and farm attacks. Keep an eye out for #RunForHope projects in 2020 and support AfriForum’s Trauma Support Unit.

Thanks to all the sponsors:
