Contemplations from the crew: part 3

Mother Teresa said: “It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” 

One week to Cannon-to-Cape

Pipe Dream: “A plan, desire, or idea that will not likely work; a near impossibility.”

Yes, it is a reality, a week from now 18 cyclists, 18 bicycles, a few spare parts, 7 crew members, 5 vehicles and 2 trailers will be on the road from Kanoneiland to Lourensford in order to raise funds for CANSA.  6 months ago the tour, now known as the Cannon-to-Cape was an idea, a dream, a number 20 on the bucket list, a mere PIPE DREAM. Due to hard work, commitment, planning and amazing sponsors this particular pipe dream is now a reality...and it is approaching so rapidly our heads are spinning.

Cannon to Raap & Skraap training

As mentioned by Elizca previously on the blog, the cyclists had a training day from Kanoneiland to the Karsten's farm Raap en Skraap on the 7th of July.
