A significant number

109 km was completed in 4 hours and 44 minutes — a ride dedicated to those living with dystonia and the challenges that so many people cannot see.

"I rode 109 km for someone who can't — for those fighting a battle only the wounded truly understand."

What started as a challenge became something much bigger: a reminder of courage, faith, determination, and the incredible strength found when people stand together.

A journey of faith

The words that carried the journey were:

"God gaan voor my uit en maak krom plekke reguit. Sy juk is sag en sy las is lig." — Matteus 11:30

For 4 hours and 44 minutes, every kilometre became a reminder to keep moving forward, even when the road feels difficult.

444 — significant numbers

444 became a meaningful reminder throughout the journey:

What you value becomes clearer with every courageous step you take towards your goals, success, abundance and fulfilment. Continue to find your footing in Him — the One who goes before you, turns mountains and steep hills into your territory, allowing you to walk where the weak were denied.

Thank you ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stood behind this journey — the supporters, family, logistics team, contributors and donors, and everyone who shared the message and offered encouragement.

Your support made every kilometre possible.

Thank You to Our Supporters ❤️

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.
