Personal message

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

This year, I have decided to Be A Sport and raise funds for Afrika Tikkun by attempting to complete the Pick 'n Pay Argus Cycle tour on a unicycle. Failing this, I WILL complete it on a bicycle. We are targeting to raise one million rands in order to promote primary education in previously disadvantaged areas.

Please support me in this awesome challenge!

Afrika Tikkun

Afrika Tikkun (AT) was founded in 1994 with the goal of developing and uplifting young people in disadvantaged communities resident in the Republic of South Africa. With like-minded partners, Afrika Tikkun aims to end child poverty and youth unemployment through a holistic approach that begins in early childhood and ends with productive adults accessing the economy. Our approach provides all-inclusive care (nutrition, health and social) services and helps SA’s youth achieve success with a model called Cradle-to-Career 360°, which has earned Afrika Tikkun recognition for being one of the most impactful organisations in South Africa. We operate from four centres in Gauteng and one in Cape Town.
