It is an honour to be joining up with Smile Foundation this Madiba Day. Cowboy Zim will be performing at the Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital for kids with facial anomalies. Cowboy Zim is honoured to put on this clown show as this charity hits close to home.

Madiba Day Full of Smiles

Cowboy Zim will be putting on a Magic Show from 10AM – 11AM on Madiba Day 18th July 2010 and making balloons for the kids in the ward. Together with Smile Foundation these kids will be smiling on the inside.  I will keep you posted with pictures right here on my blog when I get them.

Why is this event so important to me?

Cowboy Zim / Zimbo the clown  has recently (since 8th July 2010) been subject to temporary facial paralysis once again  in the right side of my face, a condition known as Bells Palsy . I have unfortunately had Bells Palsy 9 times now but lucky for me it is usually temporary and healed in 3-4 weeks. I did suffer quite a lot as a child with the same facial anomalies. The condition I have had so many times has made me in to the goofy clown I am today as every Bells Palsy attack has left a little facial deformity behind that seems to actually work well in clowning. I understand how these kids feel and they understand how I feel. Together we are going to have a blast.
