Cape Town - It comes down to this – 7 monthly winners vying for the title of the 2010 Everyday Sporting Hero. Who will walk away with the R10 000 prize money on offer?
Torsten Sorensen
Torsten is one of the most die hard supporters, coaches, fanatics and players known to walk this earth. A few years back he sustained a lower back injury that prevents him from playing rugby professionally, so now he has continued with his passion by coaching at high school level and being an avid supporter of all global and local teams. He lives, breaths and sleeps rugby!
Rubin Faulmann
Rubin has been dedicating his time and efforts to the Ravensmead soccer club. He not only plays for them, but more importantly he coaches the juniors into becoming tomorrow’s little stars. Without any form of compensation, he acts as a role model to these youngsters and provides resources to them that surely costs him and his family.
Ronni Pilowski
Ronnie has just ended his 50th season as a cricket umpire. He has served tirelessly for the Western Province Cricket Umpires Association for longer than most of us have been alive, and continues to stand every weekend, rain or shine. Not only that, but he organises every umpire for every game in the top seven leagues in Western Province every weekend.
Elna Esterhuize
Elna lost both her parents (after two long battles with Alzheimers and cancer) last year, but remained positive. Nowadays, she gives motivational speaches on the local radio station, helps the local "sakekamer" and coaches two netball teams. She does all of this for no financial benefit.
Stuart Diamond
Stuart has started a local football club in Cape Town called Grass Boots Football Club, which not only caters to kids in the area, but kids from disadvantaged areas too. Kids who would otherwise be unable to afford it can receive proper coaching, a warm meal and mentorship. Stuart works tirelessly to make sure this all happens every month. His work brings the magic of the World Cup into the lives of South Africans.
Hendri Terblanche
Hendri is the founder of “Out of the Closet Onto the Rugby Field” which encourages rugby players to rummage through their closets and donate old rugby gear which is then distributed to players from disadvantaged communities. For Comrades 2010 Hendri decided to run for the Pink Drive in aid of cancer. He injured his knee before the race, but his unwillingness to let down cancer sufferers made him persevere despite pain and discomfort to complete the race.
Barrie Porter
Barrie was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease in his spine. He decided it wasn’t going to get the better of him and he went on to complete Ironman SA 2010. Ironman had always been his dream and he did it! Unfortunately his back still gets sore so he can’t participate in everything he’d like to but he’s still very supportive. He seconded his nominator Melany while she did the Puffer trailrun and was waiting at every stop with everything she needed – including a big smile and loads of encouragement.
Which one of these Everyday Sporting Hero’s gets your vote and the ultimate prize of R10 000.
