The Clicks Journey of Hope In Namakwaland
Breakfast at Grootvlei
THE HEAT HAS REACHED FEVER PITCH! (Monday’s happenings)
Springbok primary and secondry school listened to biker chicks
The children of Springbok will definitely remember the Clicks Journey of Hope 2009. As the bell went for the school week to start, the ladies on their Harleys roared onto the playgrounds. Hundreds of pupils, both primary and secondary level had the opportunity to listen to what the biker chicks had to say on breast cancer.

Springbok Spar arranged a Breakfast session with town’s breast cancer survivors
At a breakfast session with the town’s breast cancer survivors at the Springbok SPAR (Nicolene Burger and her team were AWESOME) Christine (a survivor) handed Diane her application form for breast cancer reconstruction. This is the ultimate aim of the Journey – to make people aware and to give hope for those who cannot afford reconstruction.

The temperature at Port Nolloth was more than 40 degrees Celcius
Then it was saddle up time – on the road again to Port Nolloth. Riders from Port Nolloth joined the team and rode with them into the town. Not only had the temperature heated up (more than 40 degrees), the town folks lined the streets and the children welcomed the Journey with screams of delight. The whole atmosphere was that of frenzy and excitement. A guard of honour formed outside the town hall and the girls were treated like royalty – of course Lillian was the ‘royalist’ of them all – to such an extent that she now has her own bodyguard: Abdul (in real life a medic, but can surely double up as body guard)!

Monday Night’s stay over was at Port Nolloth Country Club
After the information function where Aileen demonstrated who to examine yourself for breast cancer, the Journey head to the Port Nolloth Country Club where everyone was to stay over. The cool swimming pool was such an attraction that most of the girls and the crew landed up in the pool – clothes and all. According to Port Nolloth residents, the extreme temperature is not normal for this time of year.

Successful auction in Port Nolloth raised R26 400
However they felt the ladies needed all the excitement and support and were happy to do everything to the extreme – and that is exactly what they did at the evening function. PINK BLOOD Port Nolloth’s blood is definitely pink and their hearts too – from the mayor’s pink shirt to the bags of money they generated with an auction: R26 400 to be exact! Why else would anyone fork out R10 000 for a teddy bear and some beauty products? Or R4 500 for two bottles of wine signed by the riders?
Auction Time or is it?
Exited auctioneer from Port Nolloth nearly swallowed his hammer
Dan Singh, ex mayor and business man made sure that the Journey would not leave empty handed. He kept the bidding going and at some stage he upped his bid from R5 200 to R10 000. The auctioneer, Charles Willemse, got so excited that he nearly swallowed his hammer! Wikus Burger from Port Nolloth Spar also chased up the bids and settled for R4 500 for two bottles of wine signed by all the ladies.
The Crew!
JP Bester, also a cancer patient, decided that he would show that his blood was also pink – he sprayed his hair and made a statement by entertaining the crowd with his flower bra. On the entertainment front six pupils from the local school showed the audience how to do the Nama Walk – an indigenous dance to the Richterveld. The whole vibe was that of electricity and nobody really wanted to go home. The visitors left reluctantly and the riders had to really tear themselves away from all the fun and excitement, because tomorrow it is back to the saddle … and the next stretch.
Port Nolloth has jumped into all of our hearts – and there you will stay.
From Jani to Casey
PS: Thanks to Carlos and Lorinda Teixeira from the Country Club who had opened their hearts (and home). You and the rest of the Port Nolloth residents will definitely stay in our hearts. You are now part of our Journey!
