Support Chantell’s Ride

Join us in making every kilometre count on 8 March 2026.

In a world filled with challenges, Chantell’s story stands as a testament to faith, hope, and the strength of the human spirit. Even while fighting Dystonia, she continues to pursue her dreams and inspire others.

On Sunday, 8 March 2026, Chantell will take on the 109km Prelude Challenge in the Cape Town Cycle Tour to raise funds for Dystonia patients in need. Every rand, every kilometre, and every act of generosity brings us closer to transforming lives affected by this life-altering illness.

Our Mission: So No One Faces This Battle Alone

Having lived with Dystonia personally, I understand the challenges of this condition deeply. That’s why Defying Dystonia exists—to raise awareness and provide financial support to patients who cannot afford essential, life-altering treatment.

Our Vision

We envision a world where the weight of Dystonia is lifted, where hope shines, and where lives are transformed.

Specialized Medical Care

All funds raised go directly toward helping Dystonia patients. We have partnered with Dr. van Coller (Neurologist) and Dr. Slabbert (Neurosurgeon), both specialists in the field. Patient care ranges from:

  • Specialized Medication

  • Botox Injections

  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Our ultimate goal is to help patients access this life-changing option once other treatments have been exhausted.

How You Can Help
