Andru se kankertrap neem hom deur die Tuinroete

George Herald

Wanneer Andru van Zyl tussen 13 en 17 Januarie deur die Tuinroete en Hessequa trap, is dit nie net 'n fietsryer wat verbykom nie, maar 'n lewende verhaal van hoop en inspirasie.

Andru se kankertrap neem hom deur die Tuinroete

Andru van Zyl besig met sy epiese fietsrit, oor 22 dae, van Polokwane tot in Seepunt, om geld vir kankerlyers in te samel.

Sy epiese tog van 22 dae van Polokwane tot Seepunt het oorspronklik ontstaan vir Badprop, Mandré de Jager, die leerling wat in 2025 by Afrikaans Hoër Seunskool met kanker gediagnoseer is. Andru was hoofseun by die skool.

Wat begin het as 'n "mal idee" het vinnig gegroei. Vandag trap Andru nie net vir een kind nie, maar in die kleure van CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation) - vir kinders wat daagliks teen kanker veg.
