One giant felled
TRAIL|Issue 21

One giant felled

That’s according to marketing specialist and father of three, Jamie Marais. With this attitude, he set himself four incredibly tough tasks in his Four Giants Challenge. The first was to summit Table Mountain 24 times in 24 hours.

In the daylight hours of 24 and 25 August, Jamie managed to ascend Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours. He achieved his true goal: raising money for Sabrina Love Foundation who support children with special needs.

NEARLY A NON-STARTER
