Our story
Our story
It started with Nico…
Nico Botha was 19 when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer. What followed was a fight no 19-year-old, and no family, should ever have to face.
But through it all, Nico showed extraordinary courage, and the people around him saw first-hand how much the things outside the hospital room matter too.
…and a community with a huge heart.
In 2025, when our dearest Nico was facing an incredibly difficult medical journey, our community came together to support him and his family. We organised two fun runs and a golf day, and through the incredible generosity of so many people, we raised enough to cover all his medical expenses.
What happened during that time was truly remarkable.
- People came together.
- Businesses opened their doors.
- Friends brought friends.
- Strangers became supporters.
And so many people gave their time, their energy, their resources and, most importantly, their hearts.
The Courageous Hearts Foundation was born.
Born from courage, community and an overwhelming amount of love. Nico’s journey showed us the extraordinary difference people can make when they come together, and opened our eyes to the many families facing serious or rare illnesses.
We created Courageous Hearts to carry that love forward: supporting families when life feels overwhelming, easing practical, emotional and financial burdens, offering education, mentorship and awareness, and building a compassionate community so families do not walk alone.
Above all, we want to bring hope.
- Hope that someone cares.
- Hope that you are not alone.
- Hope that even in the hardest moments, there can still be kindness, connection and joy.
