Two Capetonian heroes are gearing up to tackle one of the Western Cape’s toughest mountain bike races in support of young patients and staff at St Joseph’s Intermediate Paediatric Care.
Regan Bagley and Jermaine Carelse, with backgrounds in law enforcement and firefighting, will take on the gruelling Wines2Whales race later this year.
They're raising funds and awareness for the Montana-based children’s hospital, which turns 90 in 2025.
The duo says the true heroes are the hospital staff, who care for kids with life-limiting conditions.
They hope their ride will inspire South Africans to stand together and support vulnerable children.
