Ramped up donation helps change lives

The Change a Life academy was donated 50 bicycles by Qhubeka recently.

YOUNG athletes at the Change a Life Academy, run by Martin Dreyer, were donated 50 bicycles from Qhubeka, a move that the academy’s founder describes as ‘life changing’.

Qhubeka is a South African non-profit organisation that donates bicycles as part of the World Bicycle Relief’s charity programme in South Africa.

It earmarked Change a Life Academy athletes as worthy beneficiaries of the bicycles.

“These Qhubeka bikes will add immense value to help the younger Change a Life Academy athletes to commute a lot quicker from home to school and back,” said Academy founder, Martin Dreyer.

“What a treat for the paddlers to ride to training at Nagle Dam, saving a lot of time here too where walking was the only option; so during winter, they can now get home before dark,” said Academy founder Martin Dreyer.
