In 1996 he was approached to help with the Society for the Blind of Ireland’s fund-raising twelve day cycle. The fund-raising wing of the Blazing Saddles were taken from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. The tour included a sit down meal on the beach and the final evening’s banquet in the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town – seated in front of the shark tank. The tour was so successful that the Society approached him again in 2002. This time the tour was run on a hub and spoke method basing the guests in one town for a few stages to assist the blind cyclists to become familiar with their surroundings. Again, a roaring success.
