Hi, I am Sabelo and this year I am taking part in the 947 Ride Joburg road race for Botshabelo Babies Home.
I had a rough start at life that eventually led to me staying in the streets. When I was in need I was blown away by how much the community would come together to help me through the tough times. It is because of this that I want to play part in bringing joy and smiles where they are needed the most.
I want to raise funds for the babies so they have the care and love that I never experienced at a young age.
Please help me make a difference in changing these young lives........
