On 1 December a brave, Johann Odendaal, will leave the Union Buildings in Pretoria to walk  to Cape Town in aid of the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA). His goal is to raise awareness and funds for QASA’s road safety awareness campaigns. This 1800 km walk will take 2 months.

Johann began walking because of a passion for adventure and it evolved into a Project aimed at giving back to the community.  “I’m walking because I can. I’m walking because I have to. I’m walking because there are people who can’t, but I can.”

QASA is a co-ordinating, policy-making, governing and supporting organisation. The Association strives to prevent spinal cord injury, as well as protect and promote the interests of people with mobility impairments by formulating a national policy and strategy, to develop and ensure the full potential and quality of their lives.

Project KAAPSTAP, is a personal venture aimed at aiding QASA in their spinal cord injury prevention campaigns.
