​​​​A Journey Starts With the First Step...
​
ECCT has been in partnership with the Victoria Falls Hotel since 2014 and we have worked together to host various fitness events to benefit the Victoria Falls community, along with sponsoring marginalised cancer patients and their families with school fees for their children, food hampers and any treatment required.
Some of the events held since 2014 include Victoria Falls community Fitness classes hosted by Fitness To A Tee, the Victoria Falls Marathon run by the Victoria Falls Hotel team annually and Teurai (Fitness To A Tee and ECCT Founder) hosting corporate health sessions for The Victoria Falls Hotel staff.

Nine years on - the journey of hope continues: November 2023

On Saturday 25 November 2023 the ECCT hosted a Cancer Fundraiser at and in partnership with The Victoria Falls Hotel. During the week of the Fundraiser - the ECCT (with assistance from the Hotel) also visited and found 15 beneficiaries to support, including ten children. We then also held a "Journey of Hope" online and global raffle!
