LITTLE LIONS LOOP

In the words of the athlete, Rama Radha Govinda:

"This past month (Feb 2025), we had the incredible opportunity to join Little Lions Child Coaching (a charity dedicated to providing mental health support for young minds) for their fundraising run: a fun and meaningful 5km loop around Lion’s Head.

Before the run, Stijn de Leeuw, Founder of Little Lions Coaching, shared a powerful statistic: while 60% of children in South Africa express a need for mental health support, 90% never gain access to it. This highlights the critical importance of initiatives like Little Lions Coaching in bridging that gap.

We were thrilled to take on the scenic sunset trail run alongside the Little Lions, RLC and friends. Winding paths along the mountainside provided stunning views of the city and coastline, with golden-hour light making the experience even more special. A few technical trails kept things interesting, ensuring every step was intentional.

The event was proudly supported by The Conscious Kitchen, Sweet Spot Abroad, and Workshop17, all coming together to champion this inspiring cause.

As my first-ever trail run, I can confidently say it won’t be my last. More than just a run, it was a chance to connect, support, and contribute to a mission that truly matters. Huge gratitude to Little Lions Coaching for allowing us to be part of this incredible journey.

Until next time - let’s keep running for a cause."
