A South African cyclist has been cycling from London to Istanbul to raise awareness and funds for autistic and neurodiverse children in South Africa.
Grant Cameron-Smith, a South African, has been cycling from London since 18 March 2018.
Yesterday, he arrived in Istanbul, Taksim square at 11 am.
This solo journey has never been done by any cyclist to raise funds and awareness for autism.
The funds are to open a coffee shop in Johannesburg that provides employment for autistic and neurodiverse children.
South Africans, corporates and all supporters across the globe could still contribute whatever they can to help raise at least R500,000 for an autism life skills training centre plus coffee shop in Johannesburg, South Africa, which integrates amazing neuro-diverse people into the workplace.
