Kayla Jenecker's three-day run to raise awareness against bullying
Kayla Jenecker, inspired by her sister Celita's bullying experience, is running to 42 schools in the Western Cape to raise awareness and support for those affected by bullying.
Siblings Celita and Kayla Jenecker have embarked on a three-day run to raise awareness against bullying, inspired by their personal experiences with the issue. Celita, a founder of anti-bullying non-profit 42 Unbreakable, was bullied for three years in her class, while Kayla, now 29, faced bullying at her school, Morgan’s Village.
The organisation, which receives messages from parents and children seeking help, visits schools to distribute coping mechanisms and contact details for those in need. Kayla, who will run to 42 schools over three days starting from August 24, emphasizes that the campaign is more than just a run, aiming to create a movement against bullying.
The run will start at Highlands Primary School, where the Jenecker siblings attended, and will be joined by members of the Mitchells Plain Titans, Cape Town Deputy Mayor Eddie Andrews, and Kayla's father, Randall Jenecker.
