Stellenbosch local Hanlie Booyens will team up with the British rider Sharon Laws for the eight-day Absa Cape Epic from March 17 to 24.
Both Pragma Volcan riders are passionate about animals and will be Pedalling for Pups in support of African Tails.
“Both Sharon and I love animals and can’t tolerate it when animals are abused or not taken care of,” said Booyens.
“They are so dependent on the people around them and can’t speak up for themselves.
“African Tails is an organisation that does wonderful work in the less privileged areas.”
Funds raised will mainly be used for sterilisation to address the issue of over population.
“Funds will also be used for medical treatment as well as finding new loving homes. As little as R200 can pay for a sterilisation and it’s literally a case of every cent makes a difference.
Donate R100 per kilometre to help them reach their target of R70 000.
