How Are YOU Making a Difference in 2026?

“What keeps a nation strong is really the community, it is about people helping each other.” – Cesar Millan

Running for HACT was one of my most memorable experiences of Comrades in 2023. It was fulfilling to run for a purpose! Every step I took mattered, and I have decided to continue raising funds for HACT every year.
— Nyambeni Ntsundeni Nefale (Raised R 7,000 in 2023)

Sustaining Othandweni Hospice

Your Support Saves Lives

The 2026 race marks HACT’s ninth consecutive year as an official Comrades Marathon charity. Thanks to the generous support of our local and international runners, these funds are vital in sustaining HACT’s core health, empowerment, and education services to those most vulnerable in our community.

In a tight economic climate where other hospices are closing, HACT’s Comrades campaign has helped to keep our doors open, funding essential costs such as:

  • Medication and medical supplies
  • Patient transport
  • Food and specialized dietary needs
  • Nursing and palliative care personnel
Looking forward

Our goal for 2026

We are setting our sights on a record-breaking year to ensure the vital services at Othandweni Hospice and our community health programs remain fully supported.
