No Food For Lazy Man
NO FOOD FOR LAZY MAN is an initiative, started by Riaan, to bring about social change by investing in sporting equipment for schools that don't have access to these resources. The trust takes its name from a phrase Riaan discovered during his Africa circumnavigation. It was a seed planted in his imagination, and as he pedalled, the idea grew.
Riaan is sport mad and passionately believes that through sport so much is possible. Everything from instilling personal growth, self-esteem, dedication, a sense of pride and achievement to learning how to be part of a team or how to lead a team can all be accomplished through sport. And through his trust, Riaan has found a way to take sport where it's needed.
In preparation for Iceland, Riaan spent 8 days in a container freezer touring South Africa from Kings Park rugby stadium in Durban to Newlands rugby stadium in Cape Town. The idea was two-fold: to prepare himself for the freezing Icelandic temperatures as well as to raise funds for his NO FOOD FOR LAZY MAN trust.
