HEADWAY-NATAL’s avid cyclist, José Carvalho, is gearing up for his seventh Tsogo Sun Amashova race on 21 October.
The 62-year-old suffered from a stroke back in 2012 just a week after he cycled in the epic race with his teenage son.

The sporting dad attributed his fitness to the work done at Headway-Natal, a non-profit organisation in Westville for stroke and brain injury survivors.
For the last six years he has embarked on an exercise programme that has helped keep himself fit and healthy.
“I really enjoy riding, it is quite relaxing and is an escape,” said an excited José.
