From the Organisers
Africa has so many issues that need addressing, many of which impact on society's most vulnerable people – the young and the old. Life is hard if you are poor and African. Enduro Africa contributes to Africa by only working in association with charities that can demonstrate success in their mission to help save and improve lives in South Africa. By joining us on this life changing event you will donate a minimum of £1,500 from your overall sponsorship target direct to the charities we support. That makes a huge difference to the lives of people that desperately need our help. With the help of people like you Enduro Africa has managed to make a donation of nearly £1,000,000 in just three years and we are extremely excited to see what the future holds for this amazing event.

From Africa
The Enduro Africa dream is now a proven model and it's incredible what we all achieved together – it was an amazing experience to have been able to deliver on such a huge promise. I know the charities are really grateful for all the hard work and sacrifice the many hundred's of volunteers put in. In reality the rally is a world-class product, it's the most exciting project I've been involved with. After experiencing Enduro India, courtesy of my good friend Simon Smith I was very excited to unleash Enduro Africa.

I am an African and the thought of donating such a huge amount of money to these 4 incredible charities is something that one could only dream of being a part of. The passion of the Enduro India and Enduro Africa projects has been infectious and possibly for the first time in my life I am doing something that is not about money, it's about making a difference and being part of the success story. The Eastern Cape, birthplace and home of Nelson Mandela is where all the action will start and finish. I am very proud to be supporting UNICEF, Sentebale – The Princes’ Fund for Lesotho, the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and Touch Africa. The route is truly off road this year and is a testing adventure along the most demanding coastline in the world - the Wild Coast. 2009 is well on the way, don't hang about, come and help us to save lives.

My business Cherry Adventures is an off road adventure company based in Port Elizabeth, SA. This gives me plenty of opportunity to develop the fantastic Enduro Africa route. Organising the South African side of the event is a monumental task, in fact without the generous support of the South African people it would be impossible. A big thank you to my team and sponsors for all of your help so far – I salute you all. The last word has to go to my partner; the guy who came up with the Enduro Africa concept - Simon Smith. Without his vision and passion we would not have realised this dream... Thank You Si.
