Personal message

that time of year has come whereby, I will be getting on a bicycle and cycling just under 100kms for Rare disease patients in South Africa, but, also, for my precious boy Juan.
As you know, Juan has a rare condition, and his struggle in life to do simple things has always inspired me to do more for others. This event, is one such way, in which we can use our abilities to do simple things like ride a bike, to benefit those that can’t do even simpler things like walk or talk. 
This is a way for us to feel the aching muscles and burning lungs, which is what general living is like for many of our patients. 
It’s a chance to appreciate the ability to be active, and more importantly, to raise much needed funding for those who really need it.

Please consider sponsoring my ride!

Rare Diseases South Africa

Charity Default Logo

Rare Diseases South Africa, formerly the Rare Disease Society of South Africa, was founded in 2013 by Kelly du Plessis. Founded out of personal need after the diagnosis of Kelly’ son, it quickly became evident that there was a lack of support and awareness on rare diseases in South Africa.
