Trail run in honour of Ballito resident
Family and friends of a Ballito resident Martin Willis will gather tomorrow at the Sugar Rush adventure park on the north coast to run in his honour.
The 45-year-old tragically died on Saturday while running the Ballito Park Run.
A minute's silence will be observed before runners dressed in red T-shirts take on the five-kilometre trail.
His wife, Colleen says the support she has received since the incident has been overwhelming.
"The way the community has treated me, the calls and the way they have looked after me - Sugar Rush and Park Run organisers have phoned me. They're talking about naming the route after him.
"I want this to be a positive thing of people must tell their loved ones that they love each other every single day," she said.
The memorial service is being held at this hour at the Umhlali Country Club.
