2022
The BurnRun Event has evolved. And so has our Brand. The Event will continue to support HeroBurn Foundation raising funds and creating burn awareness. Our mission and goals have grown to epic proportions.
we need your help
The success of the trip is dependent on us being able to reach out to you, our potential donor and sponsor, to get on board, and get us going.
In order for the trip to take place and for us to achieve our mission, we need your help. We have to raise about R250 000 in order for the HeroBurn Foundation to continue its good works.

The Burn Run events have raised nearly half a million rands for the foundation over two previous events we staged. It is my hope that we will top that this event, BurnRun 2022 Jeffreys Bay.
This year will also see the field grow to 50 participants undertaking fundraising works as well as creating awareness along the route and doing Burn Education in all the towns we stop at.
“Its all about creating awareness of the plight of Burn Survivors and raising funds for the Burn Foundation itself.”
Leon Garbade – Event Organiser
unsung hero’s
BurnRun evolved as an idea to raise much needed funds and then to distribute some of these funds to the Hero Burn Foundation that provides support and creates awareness of burns and burn victims.

"ITS ALL ABOUT CREATING THE AWARENESS OF THE CHARITY WE ARE SERVING THROUGH THE SUFFERING WE WILL BE ENDURING."a fundraiser for
Why? The main idea is to raise funds for the Hero Burn Foundation.
Garbade chose a “Burn Charity” being close to his heart, due to the fact that a really great tabler, friend and brother was badly burnt in a motorcar accident on the 7th December 2014. Past Round Table Southern Africa Tabler of the year and Sandown RT150 41er, Mr Ross Crichton, survived the ordeal and has lived the recovery process. “Burns are the gift just keeps giving.”, says Ross.
BurnRun is proud to announce that Ross has agreed to be our spokesperson and that we have also got the support of Ross’s plastic Surgeon, Dr Deon Wyers, who initially suggested that the Heroburn Foundation be our beneficiary.
