Ivor Cleary, Head of Marketing at the Reach For A Dream Foundation, joins Yolanda Maartens to motivate you to also get your R20 sticker as well as to tell us more about what they do at Reach for a Dream.

Since 1988, the Reach For A Dream Foundation has brought hope, joy and healing to countless children by encouraging them to use their dreams to fight life-threatening illnesses.

The foundation seeks to alleviate the strain a critical illness places on children and their families by making their dreams come true. These dreams – ranging from meeting personal heroes to getting new toys or experiencing new things for the first time – provide them with a temporary escape and a much-needed distraction from often painful medical treatments. 

Most importantly, fulfilled dreams inspire hope, giving these children a reason to believe that tomorrow is worth fighting for.

Reach For A Dream has national projects like Laughter Heroes, Dream Rooms and Dream Club, which provide ongoing support, enhancing the lives of these brave young fighters and their families.

Reach For A Dream relies solely on donor funding and public support to ensure the success of our initiatives.

You can help raise funds by doing it for the dreamers on Slipper Day 2025! It is on Friday 30 May.

Once a year, South Africans join forces for Slipper Day, in the name of fun, hope, and making dreams come true! By simply buying a sticker, wearing your slippers, and showing your support, you can help bring joy to children with life-threatening illnesses.

These simple acts of kindness serve as a poignant reminder of the daily struggles faced by these brave children, many of whom spend their days in slippers while undergoing treatment. By purchasing a R20 Slipper Day sticker, you can help turn their biggest dreams into realities, giving them precious moments of joy and hope when they need it the most.
