Fundraiser to raise awareness for Down Syndrome

At least 19 cyclists will take part in the #RIDE4DSSA charity ride challenge on Saturday in Centurion , Cape Town, Standerton and Mthatha in the Eastern Cape. The cyclists include accountants, business owners, sales reps, lecturers, engineers and doctors. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder usually associated with physical growth delays and intellectual disability, among other things.

Through the organisation we bring awareness of their condition and promote their rights to be fully included into their communities," Ramjas said. One of the cyclists, Johann Odendaal, 18, said he was"excited to be part of this great moment"."We will raise awareness and funds, so people can ask us how they can help," said Odendaal. Another cyclist, John James Sauer, 15, said he was involved in the ride because there was a pupil with Down Syndrome in his school.
