I am privlidged to have been selected to be a participant in the 2020 edition on the Unogwaja Challenge. This is a 1700km cycle from Cape Town to Pietermaritzburg to take part in the Comrades Marathon. A journey of the heart inspired by Phil Masterton-Smith (who’s nickname was “Unogwaja” meaning hare in Zulu), in 1933, Masterton-Smith lived in Cape Town and could not afford the train fare to Pietermaritzburg for the start of the Comrades Marathon. He got on his bike and he cycled there.
Today his courage and determination in the face of adversity are at the core of the Unogwaja Challenge which has become an annual journey that started in 2011 and brings together a small group of people chosen from all over the world for this special mission of hope across South Africa.
As part of this event, I have commited to raising funds for Unogwaja education charities and for this purpose I have created a brand called Dventure. It's a combination of my name (Deon) + Adventure - and will consist of a series of big challenges and events to help me with training, but also aimed at including YOU, my Unogwaja tribe as part of this amazing adventure...
Call to action!
Please do join me in changing the story of our beautiful country and making a difference in what I hope will be many peoples lives... you can do this by joining in with me via this virtual unogwaja mission and running, cycling, swimming, stepping or otherwise moving the distance of this challenge over the upcoming months...
This amazing site will magically take you every step of the way with me, and you will be able to compare, compete (against others) and track yourself against the journey that I will be doing come 2nd June 2020.
Best of luck and I can't wait to have you onboard the Unogwaja virtual love train.. ShoOps!
