Many many years had passed by without me ever thinking of getting onto a bicycle. My visual impairment would not allow me to entertain the idea of me cycling. This all changed when OAB helped me to get hold of a tandem bike. What started off as a hysterical comedy show for my daughter’s watching myself and Marlene learn to pull off and break, ended in countless hours of precious family time riding with our two daughters. 

Our ambition since has always been to take on the OAB Tandem Challenge. Although the 22km is a distance we are yet to conquer, it is also a challenge motivated by the generosity of everyone that contributes towards this event. 

So I am asking that you please donate generously and  help me and Marlene achieve this challenge and know that you have contributed to such a worthy organisation but at the same time, help me to create that awareness that although a disability does present its own challenges, it should not prevent you from experiencing the feeling of freedom when achieving your goals. 

Thank you.
