Stephane Pienaar will be rowing for 24 hours from 4pm 25 August to 4pm 26 August in an attempt to raise R1.5m for MAD and to break the World Record in an Ultra-Endurance 24 Hour row.
For the past 6 weeks, Stephane has embarked on a journey of relentless training with one goal in mind: To break The World Record in an Ultra-Endurance 24 Hour row. To make this arbitrary number easier to rel
ate to, this is equal to the distance from Cape Town to Stellenbosch and back again THREE TIMES. He decided that this journey could mean a lot more than his own personal pain or gain so he has teamed up with Make A Difference (MAD) Leadership Foundation. The goal is to raise R1.5million to support a single financially disadvantaged young leader, a world-class education from a primary to a tertiary level. There are many young leaders out there that cannot afford a quality education please help me to help at least one. You too can support Stephane's MAD2Row initiative and donate to this worthy cause by visiting https://www.givengain.com/cc/MAD2Row/. Also, feel free to join him on Friday, the 25th August from 16h00 until 16h00 the next day (26 August) because he is MAD2ROW. About MAD:
At Make A Difference Leadership Foundation we focus on identifying, supporting and developing the future leaders of South Africa. We provide a comprehensive, personal and long-term scholarship programme, offering scholars support in the areas of mentorship, personal, academic and leadership development. By focusing on the individual needs of each scholar, we ensure we maintain a personal connection to their requirements, that way providing comprehensive support for the duration of their academic career. Our scholarship is more than just a contribution towards the scholar’s academic costs. Make A Difference Leadership Foundation supports each scholar from Grade 8 throughout their tertiary degree, not only by providing financial assistance but also by supporting the individual in his/her personal and professional development as they prepare for their future. We achieve this through a multi-disciplinary team, skilled in various professions to ensure that we remove any barrier the scholar is facing in the most effective and efficient manner, so they can continue focusing on achieving their dreams, while we take care of the rest.
