The Endurance Challenge Charity Trust (ECCT) is the brainchild of David Crombie, who has long been an active fundraising athlete. David formed this non-profit organisation with the express purpose of bringing together like-minded runners - Team ECCT - who wish to harness their passion for ultra-distance running in order to make a difference to the children in South Africa who are suffering as a result of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
In taking up these endurance challenges, team members will seek to gain both corporate and private sponsorship for their fundraising role. Team ECCT members pay all their race expenses, thus all funds raised are for the benefit of the children.
