Andrea's Gift Foundation-South Africa Any brave souls
AGF is presenting this amazing fundraising, lupus awareness campaign for 2021:
CEDERBERG BIKING ADVENTURE
And you can get involved by:
*SPONSORING A RIDER (Individual or Corporate)
*PASSING THIS ONTO YOUR CONTACTS
We are using the sports platform in wide open, safe spaces to educate the public about lupus with 20 very brave riders who are up for the challenge!
This 4-day Traverse of the beautiful Cederberg will include never-before experiences as they volunteer to live for more than themselves, by replicating the quiet strength, fortitude, and dignity of those afflicted by SLE.
In order to do so, every rider will carry on themselves or their bike, everything they need for four days in the mountains – clothing, food, water, tent/bivouac and sleeping bag, cooking equipment, phone, shoes and sunblock, etc. This is so they will be a reflection of those with SLE, who have to contain within themselves everything that is needed to fight this disease – the strength to ignore being misunderstood and maligned as a hypochondriac, going to work every day despite every joint aching, despite not knowing if or when the next traumatic and embarrassing seizure will occur, despite chronic headaches, extreme fatigue, paper-thin skin which makes handling paper feel like being cut by razors, despite having to take a cocktail of medicine every day, schedule 6 medicine that has multiple unpleasant side-effects, and despite, in many cases, their disease having been misdiagnosed for years. Often-times they are abandoned by their family and friends, left to die a mortifying death in unkempt public hospitals.
Every pedal stroke will be a reminder that they are riding for Lupus Warriors.
Join us from 7-11 April 2021 for a ride to discover your soul anew.
