When a cause tugs at your heart, you simply cannot ignore it. For Nyambeni Nefale, it is the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust. She will be lacing up her running shoes for a powerful purpose: to conquer the gruelling Comrades Marathon and raise vital funds for a charity that has been a lifeline for thousands!
Hillcrest, South Africa (04 March 2025) – The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) is dedicated to saving and transforming lives.
As one of the first NGO’s in South Africa to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, HACT has established a reputation for making a significant impact in the lives of people impacted by the disease.
This year, Nyambeni Nefale will be once again putting on her running shoes to take on the ultimate human race – the Comrades Marathon to support HACT, a charity that is deeply personal to her!
“This incredible organisation provides vital care and support to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS. Comrades is a test of endurance but it’s nothing compared to the daily struggles faced by those HACT supports. Every step I take is dedicated to making a difference,” shares Nyambeni.
Nyambeni has set herself a goal to raise R7,000 for the charity in support of the invaluable work it does to help families affected by HIV/AIDS.
By running the Comrades, Nyambeni is turning every step into a stride towards compassion and support.
You can be part of her effort to make a difference in HACT’s Hospice and Palliative Care In-Patient Unit by visiting the Comrades Marathon donations page here.
