This is a team event, with members going through various checkpoints together. They are hoping to complete the race in 12 hours. <\/p>\n<p>This will be a special race for Stokker, as it is his fifth Transbaviaans. He and his team decided to raise funds for Cupcakes of Hope with their race as they know, through personal involvement with the charity, that its fundraising events have been dealt a serious blow due to COVID-19 restrictions on events. <\/p>\n<p>Cupcakes of Hope\u2019s initiatives are aimed at providing direct support to children suffering from cancer, and they are committed to assisting them where they need it most. <\/p>\n<p>Cupcakes of Hope raise funds through community driven initiatives, which drive community interaction and grassroots childhood cancer awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCupcake of Hope assist between 100 to 120 patients every month by paying for their medical and other day-to-day needs, some of them local to the Kouga region. This year, more than 2 000 activity packs\/gifts have been delivered to 20 paediatric oncology wards across South Africa. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCupcakes of Hope have also supplied hospitals with much-needed medical equipment, PPE equipment, educational toys, as well as doing hospital room makeovers,\u201d explained Janelle Stokker, Andrew\u2019s wife and he local coordinator for Cupcakes of Hope.<\/p>\n<p>In order for Andrew and Russell to raise funds they have created a Back-a-buddy page where people can safely donate towards their event.
