Clearing out my drafts, I came across one of my unseen interviews from the Giyani to Cape Town 40-Day Walkathon about 1,009km, which I completed in just 23 days. At one point, I attempted a 24-hour non-stop walk, which stretched beyond the 24 hours, and by then I had already covered 1,000km. I was making history, yet I still had 880km left to go.

Eight years later, that fire is still burning. I remain thirsty for another challenge, even bigger, even longer. And now, in just a few days, I’ll be taking on what feels like a “mere” 137km journey from Johannesburg to Potchefstroom in 3 days.

This one is special: it’s in celebration of 11 years of The Journey Legacy, which was born in 2014 with our very first official walk from Johannesburg to Bloemfontein in 5 days. The rest, as they say, is history and the journey continues.
