Ton de Jager takes part in the Cairo to Capetown bicycle expedetion

From january 12 through may 10, 2008 i’ll be taking part in the Tour d’Afrique, the worlds longest bicycle-race and –expedition: from north to south in Africa in 120 days.

Riding this tour is the realisation of a dream that i have been dreaming for some years now. Four months on the road, discovering your limits, meeting a lot of new people, talking to them and getting to know Africa at the speed off a bike: not to fast, not to slow. It is a challenge i want to take up.

I’m going to use this expedition to raise money for the Pola van der Donck Foundation. This dutch foundation has built a village, outside of Lusaka, Zambia, called the Palabana Childrens Village. Here, children who have lost their parents to AIDS, are being offered a place to live and an opportunity to get a good start in life. Details of how to transfer money to this worthy cause can be found at the bottom of this page. Please donate generously to this Foundation!!
