Story
I'M SORRY FOR MY BROKEN ENGLISH
i lost my parents at 5years my mom at 13years old my dad. i have worked since i was a little boy for my meals and my little bro. and some little help from other people. from that time till now was given where to stay by Alvin D makurumidze till now fo free
in 2015 Alvin and his friend Omberai where exercising cycling. and they asked me to join them and had no bike and Omberai landed me his spare bike. in 3 month thier friend Alex Mugadza visted them and we took a ride for 40km. Alex said after the ride. that if i get some help I'm a good rider if not one of the best in the world. i laughed my lungs out bcz earlier that month had fainted trying to chase Omberai Mandingaisa .the three of them started to help me with the little they have. i was 86kg then. in 1year was around 70kg. my first competition was last year in December. where i come third After Nkulumo Dube the zim champ and the Californian cyclist. i started believing in my self.
from that time have attended races to near by countries and getting good results. my challenge is cycling is an expensive sport. i run a little shop now for cellphones. VICTECH. thats where i get my meals and sponsoring myself.
i bought a bike for $3700 on lay buy. hopping i would finish it. sadly i lost $4000 cash to robbers (stock money for my shop) which i have police report of it. balancing my shop and cycling at the same time has be come a challenge. i have paid $2000 on my bike. $1700 to go. and why i request 4000 is too get me started more will be ok but i think 4000 will get me going.
i promise if i get enough help and tomorrow when i see the need i will help them. . cycling is a paying job. and i want to be part of it. help me reach my dreams. thank you may God add to where you have subtracted.
and I'm sorry for my poor gramma and broken English. i only carry grade 7 education.
