The cycling trip is an incentive that is offered to current healthcare professionals and other citizens to unite in this cause to invest in future healthcare professionals by donating towards the Hippocampus Fund.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>The funds will be raised and managed by students, in collaboration with Stellenbosch University, and will aim to alleviate the financial stress experienced by medical students on the campus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>He says they wanted to make a small difference and do something extra so they took the time to understand some of the problems their fellow students are faced with.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cEveryone is running the same race, but not everyone has the same starting line. While some of us only have the stress of completing a degree, others also have the burden of financial stress,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Reed says although students with financial assistance get funding for accommodation, fees, textbooks and food allowances, they don\u2019t get funds for essential items like toiletries, data, transport and even healthcare costs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>He says many students come from rural areas and have to work themselves out of poverty. \u201cMany students have to get a degree or else their whole family will fail. Our sacrifice attached to the initiative is nothing compared to the sacrifice made by some students. We want to create a place where everyone has the same financial freedom to excel,\u201d says Reed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Stay updated by following the Facebook page TheHippocampusFund.
