67 MINUTE CHALLENGE
In 2009 the United Nations declared the 18th of July (Nelson Mandela’s birthday) Mandela day in honor of a lifetime spent fighting social injustices. The Nelson Mandela Foundation has since invited the global community to dedicate 67 minutes of their time on Mandela Day to making the world a better place. Celebrating the idea that an individual has the ability to change the world.
This year the John Nugent Memorial Eyecare Foundation will be dedicating their efforts on Mandela Day to fighting preventable blindness. They’ll be hosting a screening day to screen for signs of keratoconus. (Read more about it here)
Help them in their efforts to make the world a better place by being part of the 67 minute challenge.

About the challenge
Go out on Nelson Mandela Day (18 July 2021) and Cycle, Run, Walk, Paddle or Crawl as far as you can in 67 minutes. We’d like you to commit to covering at least 6.7 km but if 6.7 m is all you can manage that’s OK too. There will be great prizes up for grabs for those who cover the most distance in 67 minutes.
Your entry is going to cost you a ZAR 67 donation. Medal and/or T-Shirt’s are available to celebrate your efforts with all proceeds helping to fund the JNM Eyecare Foundation’s screening programs. The clinical instruments they need don’t come cheap, so every little bit helps. (Read more about their work and the equipment they need)
