Louis Massyn, a living legend in the world of athletics, is gearing up to tackle his 50th Comrades Marathon at the age of 75. This incredible milestone is a testament to Louis endurance and dedication, but also an opportunity to give back to the community.
Louis has partnered with the NPO BINAH and Legacy Centre, an organisation that provides support to children with special needs. Through his 50th Comrades Marathon, Louis aims to raise funds for this worthy cause by inspiring others to join him in making a difference.
Binah Understanding, an initiative founded by parents of children with autism, has launched The Legacy Centre, a one-to-one tutoring facility designed to support the unique learning needs of children with special needs in a warm, familial environment.
Driven by personal experience, the founders created Binah to raise awareness and foster societal acceptance of children with special needs. The Legacy Centre reflects their deep commitment to building a better future, not only for their own son but for many others in similar circumstances.
The Legacy Centre offers individualised educational programs that focus on each child's strengths while addressing their specific challenges. With a low-stimulation environment and trained, compassionate staff, the centre provides a safe space where children can thrive emotionally, socially and academically. Binah envisions a more inclusive society, starting with empowering these children through understanding and personalised education.
