Freedom Challenge RASA 2014 - Into the unknown

[TrailWarrior]

1st the discovery by chance on the net in 2009; then the dream; now the reality!

Freedom Challenge RASA 2014 just around the corner and my journey into some of the unknown will begin.

 

Endless days and nights of gear researching, map studies, endless training miles, sacrifices and a support network to cushion the anticipation that keeps building. Everything paid with the final smalls to be taken care of wondering what it will be like on the start line in June of which only d-day will tell.

 

People ask why the heck would someone want to do something like this. As some of us like minded bike riders would say; it cannot be fully explained and unless you indulge in the same experiences of riding and racing a bicycle, only then can you start to try understand the reasons why.

 

The Freedom Challenge race across South Africa, I am doing it because it has been a dream. It is an opportunity to transverse part of our country very few will have the privilege of doing. It is an opportunity to revel in and experience another side of humanity that I am informed about. It is an opportunity to dig deep into my character and push the boundaries of the human spirit and how far we can go and how much we can endure. It is an opportunity to write my own story and define my own history. At the same time it includes all those that have been part of and will be part of, this incredible journey that I will embark on.

 

Most importantly, this is also a journey to hopefully help some deaf kids that could do with a better start in life of which I am trying to raise money for. The theme is me doing the Freedom Challenge, the real story is these kids.

 

If anyone would like to sponsor me or make a small donation, every little bit helps towards making a difference.
