PCA’s founder, Dr André Hattingh, will embark on this epic charity motorbike ride to raise funds for children in urgent need of surgeries and medical treatment, and will ride to the most northern, western, eastern and southern parts of South Africa, drawing a symbolic circle around the children of the country.

Hattingh’s first overnight stop will be in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo, and on Saturday February 24, an attempt to break a world record for the most motorbikes riding in a staggered formation will be made.

This attempt will be held from 50km before the Caltex Mentors Plaza on the N2 near Jeffrey’s Bay to Storms River ending at the Mentors Country Estate in Jeffrey’s Bay.
