Inspiring kids to SURVIVE and THRIVE

Changing one’s outlook affects your mental health and your ability to tackle life’s challenges.

Our mission is to inspire children to look past their present circumstances and look to the future with hope and possibility.

However, we care not only for the mental state of our beneficiaries but also look to their physical needs. In partnership with our key sponsors, we plan, raise funds and manage refurbishment, painting and the brightening up of under resourced medical, educational and child care facilities and institutions. 

Optimism is a potent health tonic! Through our talks, books, movies and hospital visits,  we inspire kids to be optimistic about their lives and their futures. Our Sailing Academy empowers kids through skills training and therapy.

200 days in hospital

Greg was sick, misdiagnosed, operated on, drips 24/7, & was offered no hope. He used visualisation, optimism & passion for the ocean & life to overcome the infections & survive.

Sailing 200km

In April 2016, as a middle aged, multiple cardiac surgery survivor, on the blood thinner warfarin, Greg sailed a tiny children’s Optimist dinghy over 200 km around the Cape of Storms.

The Mission

His aim was to show that small people can do HUGE things. He inspired patients, kids & people to never ever give up, & raised ZAR1.3 mil for the new ICU & to paint the Red Cross Children’s Hospital.
