Corné Els is on a cross country journey on a tractor from Krugersdorp in Gauteng to Klapmuts in the Western Cape. Why? To raise funds for her daughter so she can participate in the Tug-of-War World Championships in Switzerland from August 31. Ryan gave her a call as she edged closer towards her destination:

Corné’s daughter Marconette needs about R160,000 in donations to cover travel and living expenses for 10 days for the tournement in Switzerland. If you’d like to make a donation to the cause you can contact Corné Els directly on WhatsApp or by calling her: +27 78 802 7911.
