This is an inspirational account of David´s journey around the coast of South Africa, a journey running a Smile around the foot of the African Continent. As the run began to unfold the whole journey became a personal search and a continued strive to find answers to a question that David thinks are on the mind of many South Africans. ´What does the future hold for us? Is there hope in the future for our country?´. ´We have undergone such massive change over the past 15 years and in order to carry on with this process, there must be a reward´. To David that reward is hope and the knowledge that this country is going to be a better place.David will never forget the day that he ran across the bridge over the Orange River from Namibia back into South Africa at the start of the run. The pride that he felt, carrying our countries flag across the bridge. But there was a feeling of uncertainty in him, a feeling of fear in a way as he did not know what lay ahead of him. What was going to be the result of this mammoth journey and what were the lessons going to be? Deep inside there was a strong feeling of hope for the future that has been kindled by deep rooted Positivity and Love for all that this country stands for and the massive change that it has undergone.
