THE GOAL: To ride from Johannesburg to George in just 48 hours

Danzil Afrika is a young man with a mission - he wants children from disadvantaged communities to have reliable access to the diabetes medication they need in order to lead normal, active and healthy lives.

So he and fifteen other cyclists will be hitting the tar on 8 November to take up the Changing Diabetes? Cycle Challenge, a marathon challenge of cycling from Joburg to George in just 48 hours.

The organisers said in a statement the aim of this non-stop event is to raise funds to provide treatment for underprivileged youngsters living with this chronic condition.

The group will be accompanied by former Springbok rugby player Joel Stransky, who enthusiastically supports its objective.
