Coalfields Jacob Akers Run 04th October 2020

Jacob Akers is a young boy who is a twin that suffered an intrauterine stroke. He was born with hydrocephalus as a result, and does not have a full brain. He also has a VP shunt. He was born with a myelomeningocele (spina bifida) and numerous other complications.

It is extremely difficult to sustain his medication and nutrition requirements as well as manage his body functions.

Coalfields Chapter hosted a run with the aid of East Rand Chapter to Gondar Shellhole in Middelburg on Sunday 4th October to raise funds for this courageous young boy.

The group departed early morning in good weather with a bit of mist here and there. Passing Daveyton the mist got worse and the further the pack rode the worse the mist got.  Added to that were the rode works. At times the riders couldn’t see further than 50 meters in front.

Coalfields welcomed the Jhb and Pretoria chapters at Middleburg mall and then rode in convoy with young Jacob to Gondar Shellhole where the MMA were treated to a lunch of curry and rice and the handing over of the donations to Jacob.

Message from Moth Kokkie Smit who instigated the run: “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the awesome support for Jacob. Coalfields are proud to be part of this fine group of men and women of the MMA. With the ticket sales, donations and the food sales we managed to raise about R 3,500 today. This along your generous donation means that today we have raised more than R10,000 for Jacob. Well done and may God bless your generosity.”

Well done Mike, Kokkie, Makou and the rest of Coalfields.

South Eastern Transvaal Run 19th January 2020

This was one of those memorable runs which we will definitely do again, perhaps mostly due to the heavy rain we had to negotiate for the most part of the run. The countryside was spectacular and the MOTH hospitality along the way was outstanding. We visited 5 Shellholes along the way, rode almost 900km, and enjoyed excellent camaraderie in true MOTH style.
