Claire running for hope – The Hope Exchange

Support Claire's run for hope!

Claire has been a dedicated friend and supporter of The Hope Exchange for years. From running a marathon in our name, arrange a her own run for us to participating in our annual World Homeless Day Run – where she runs alongside our homeless clients – her commitment to our cause is truly inspiring.

Now, Claire is taking on MUT 60 by UTMB (we are talking a serious forrest and mountain run) to help us continue uplifting individuals experiencing homelessness. The Hope Exchange provides opportunities for these individuals to regain their dignity and access programs that serve as stepping stones towards a brighter future away from homelessness.

Let’s cheer for Claire! If you’d like to support her efforts, please consider making a donation to The Hope Exchange in her name. (Payment options provided below.)

"Experiencing Cape Town on my runs has shown me both its beauty and hardships. While I marvel at the stunning scenery, I also see areas of decay where people struggle to survive, often sleeping in cold, unsafe conditions. Along my route, I’ve also encountered The Hope Exchange, which offers a holistic approach to homelessness. They restore dignity by providing essentials like food, showers, clothing, medical care, and social support—empowering clients to face the world with renewed confidence and hope. Please support The Hope Exchange by donating—any amount can make a real difference in someone’s life."
