Personal message

Hi, my name is Rucus Van der Merwe. I am 40 years old and own a Bakery in Durbanville. I am an avid cyclist that enjoys being outdoors. I have completed the Cape Town Cycle Tour 10 times already.

I believe that children are the future, and we need to help nurture them. Home of Hope is a remarkable non-profit organization that makes a difference in children's lives through their Child and Youth Care Center, Amathemba Special Needs school and Living Life Projects.

This is my first time Riding for a child, and my little buddy's name is Naomi. Naomi is a loving and sweet little girl born with Cerebral Palsy and struggles with the daily challenges of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). 

Despite all of her challenges, nothing stops Naomi. She loves to write letters, help others and dance.

I would like to raise R12000.00 to help make a difference in Naomi's life. Please help me, help her!

The R12000.00 raised will contribute to Naomi's daily and medical needs and education.
