Jacaranda Fm's Good Morning Angels Rallies Behind Limpopo Cyclists Riding For Change
Written by: Media Update Editor Save to Instapaper
The trio, known as the Gauta BMX cyclists, embarked on their ambitious 1 700km journey from Burgersfort, Limpopo, on Wednesday, 2 April, equipped only with their bicycles, determination and a dream. Their goal is to inspire young people and promote a healthy lifestyle, demonstrating that there are positive alternatives to social challenges like alcohol and drug abuse, says the radio station.
Jacaranda FM says their story quickly went viral on social media as South Africans rallied behind their cause, inspired by their grit and message. Now past the halfway mark of their journey, the cyclists have often had to sleep at police stations or petrol stops for safety. They are expected to arrive in Cape Town by Sunday, 13 April, having planned overnight stops in Leeu Gamka, Laingsburg, Worcester and the Mother City.
In response to their determination and positive message, Jacaranda FM's Good Morning Angels Fund says it has donated R20 000 to help cover the cyclists' accommodation for the final stretch of their ride.
"Thank you Jacaranda FM for the support. I don't know what to say," says Ndou. "We appreciate everything you are doing for us. Everyone thought we were crazy when we started this journey, but we really believe in what we are doing and the help Jacaranda FM has given us will go a long way."
"This story is everything South Africa needs right now — young people chasing a dream, challenging limits and inspiring others," says Martin Bester. "We're proud to support these incredible young men, and we can't wait to see what they accomplish beyond this ride."
Jacaranda FM concludes that the Gauta BMX cyclists are also determined to give back to their community. Upon their return to Limpopo, they plan to establish a cycling club to introduce more young people to the joys of cycling — creating a safe, healthy space for youth in their community.
