# Para-swimmer David Williams will tackle KwaZulu-Natal’s Midmar Mile on Saturday to raise funds for the Childhood Cancer Association of South Africa. Born without legs, the 34-year-old Durban resident has already done the Mile across the dam four times, but now wants to channel his energy into the charity element of the world’s biggest open water swim. After struggling to take part in able-bodied sports as a scholar, Williams was introduced to adaptive sports through swimming. He immediately made his mark, setting six national records, before turning his attention to adaptive rowing.
