In less than two weeks Aya and Angelo will be on the saddle riding Wines2Whales in support of StreetSmart South Africa.

Ayabonga is a student at the Learn to Live School of Skills, one of StreetSmart's beneficiaries in Cape Town.

Angelo met Aya when he handed over the funds raised by riding the Cape Epic to StreetSmart.

Ayabonga is a very keen mountain biker and Angelo had the idea to ride the three stage race with him hoping to raise more funds for StreetSmart whilst fulfilling Aya's dream.

They have so far raised R30,000 but need more; every penny counts so don’t be shy and support Aya and Angelo by clicking on the link https://bit.ly/2P4xaA6

We will cheer them on when they ride on 29^th, 30^th and 31^st October 2018!
