So I left Jax in Banff this morning to head up to Prince George on my own. Although it was a long 665km ride, it took me through Banff and Jasper national parks which were spectacular! Driving through the Canadian Rockies amongst the snow capped mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers has proven to be one of the best drives so far.

I am spending the night at the Ramada inn and had an awesome dinner and too much wine with a South African couple, Vaughn and Debbie Basset who have lived in Canada for the last few years. Tomorrow I head up to the southern point of the Stewart-Cassier highway.

Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
