Rachel Kolisi, wife of South African national team rugby player Siya Kolisi, will attempt the impressive feat of cycling all the way from Kimberley to the Mother City this March.
She announced recently that she would be tackling the 1075km route to raise awareness for the work that Meals on Wheels does in South Africa.
”This is the first post I’m doing about it because I have officially committed – was definitely in denial about it for months. I don’t own a bicycle. I have not been on a bicycle in years. So I’m very concerned for the well-being of my butt.
I will be borrowing a bike for the tour and in the process of getting it now and well as cycling clothes,” she said.
The route will be a formidable one that Rachel will have to prepare for in many ways, especially since she is not a cyclist, but she is set on succeeding in completing it for a good cause.
Meals on Wheels Community Services is a non-profit organisation that provides warm and nutritious meals to the underprivileged as part of its basket of services to the less fortunate communities in South Africa.
Meals on Wheels Community Services will be hosting the fourth edition of the Extreme Ride for Hunger Cycle Tour from Kimberley to Cape Town, which will include five outreach events.
Rachel’s journey will span over five days, from March 3 to 8 2019.
