South African off-road racing legend and KTM ‘supremo’ Alfie Cox has once again set his sights on the world’s most famous off-road motorsport event ... the Dakar rally.Alfie together with his good friend Jurgen Schroeder will be racing a South African prepared Nissan Navara over the tortuous 9500km 13 stage course through South America. This is very much an international collaboration between South Africa based Alfie Cox Racing and German based PS Laser Racing who are the key sponsors.
Not only will Alfie and Jurgen be tackling the hardest rally in the world but they will also be challenging themselves to make a difference in their support of the Cipla Miles for Smiles Foundation. Through their efforts they hope to raise funds and awareness of under-privileged children afflicted with facial deformity.
Joining them on this goodwill crusade will also be Iain Stevenson, a KwaZulu Natal based wireless communications entrepreneur who is meeting his ‘Everest’ as he tackles his first Dakar on a KTM motorbike supplied and prepared by Alfie.
Following Alfie, Jurgen and Iain is also a dedicated team of supporters who will be making the long journey across to South America to cheer on the racers. These die-hard fans are also committing themselves to the Miles for Smiles cause and will be helping to spread awareness where ever they go.
The Miles for Smiles team are extremely honoured to have the support and commitment of the likes of Alfie, Jurgen, Iain and the Dakar supporters group and we wish them all a successful Dakar. You can follow their progress at the following links below and most importantly please help the children by making a donation.
