South African Champions cycle 30km for Atlas

Atlas SA had a special team ride out for charity at the recent Hi-Tec Walker Bay Outdoor in Hermanus, South Africa.

A 30km MTB ride through the beautiful Hemel & Aarde Valley saw Springbok Women’s PRO rugby player, Babalwa Latsha get on a bike for the first time in 15 years and she powered her way to the finish.

In the good company of Scarra Ntubeni, popular Western Province/Stormers hooker, Claire Alexander, Joe Muller, Bernard Pretorius and Myles Hoppe, they took on the challenge to raise awareness and funds for Atlas SA and the projects on the ground around SA.

A massive thank you to our Atlas South Africa rugby champions who cycled 30km over the weekend to raise money for Atlas.

Liv Vs White Collar Boxing

I am one of Ed's older sisters and his wonderful friends and family continue to try new ways of raising money for the Atlas Foundation and Tanzania Rugby Development Program. My next challenge is a White Collar Boxing Match on the 24th March, something I think Ed would find absolutely hilarious and be so proud of me for. I miss him and can't wait to do this for him and the amazing work the money raised will do for TRD.
