'It was a privilege'
She expected it would be challenging and it was indeed "very difficult", admits Rene Strauss about her and Michelle Steenkamp's successful participation in last weekend's Cape Town Cycle Tour.Rene and Michelle took on and completed the popular bike race to raise money for All4TheBabies. The organisation was created by Rene and Michelle to raise money for Ruach Elohim, a safe and loving home for vulnerable babies and children in Swakopmund.
"The headwind made it even more difficult, but it was worth every minute to do it for All4TheBabies," Rene says.
"When the race started, I couldn't remember the route when I did it in 2018. So, it was a bit of a culture shock. But it was an honour and a privilege to be able to do this for Ruach Elohim. The money we collect will help with the daily expenses of caring for the babies. We are incredibly grateful for the support of the community.”
