"So happy God answered our prayers. Still praying for complete recovery from that traumatic experience."

Tanya Botes shared:

"I don't think it's necessary to blame anyone here. It happened, we don't need all the details, fact is she is alive and survived her terrible ordeal. Pointing fingers is not going to change what happened, but maybe in future the comrades organisers can put a system in place whereby runners don't wander off and get lost."

Margaret Cahill Kelly added:

"So happy to hear you're back home Moira. We were all so worried about you. Take care and I hope you go from strength to strength 💪 💕"
