Despite not being a particularly talented athlete my adventurous spirit and love of sport has not only taken me to some incredible places, enabled me to meet the most amazing people but it has also helped me to develop important characteristics that have helped me on my journey through life. Characteristics such as discipline, determination, team work and the ability to keep going even when things get tough have helped me through many a challenging situation off the bicycle. As such in January 2010 I rode 1200km's through Vietnam and Laos to raise funds to JAG. To find out more go to www.backabuddy.co.za/babeonabike
I believe in the power of dreams and another project I love being involved in because of their mission to make dreams come true is Magical Moments. Illana and her team of faeries have the most amazing ability to make dreams come true. For more information go to Magical Moments.
There are so many cool ways to pay forward without even trying. A few months ago some friends I had a dinner party in honour of The Starfish Foundation. It's called a Starfish dinner of hope. Basically you get together with a whole bunch of friends and everyone brings a donation. So while you're having fun you're doing it all for a good cause.
As part of my ongoing mission to contribute I try to learn as much as possible and then teach what I have learnt. I write for numerous magazines and websites on a monthly basis. My feeling is that the more relevant information we have, the better choices we can make and that is my basis for my writing. Should you want an article written for your publication, please do not hesitate to contact me with the relevant information.
