What’s greater than providing brave warriors with a radio platform to voice their challenges and share their influence? – Supporting this unique and incredible cause! That’s exactly what presenter Jesse Solomons will be doing as he takes on the Cape Town Cycle tour in his specialised wheelchair!
Cape Town, South Africa (27 February 2025) – Moved to do his part in giving back to a platform that has largely contributed to his professional and personal growth, talented presenter Jesse Solomons is going full throttle to raise funds for RX Radio!
The radio station, run by and for children based at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, is getting ready to make an appearance once again at the 2025 Cycle Tour. This time, Jesse is stepping up to the plate and tackling the cycling challenge head-on.
Having joined RX Radio at the age of 12, Jesse, now 20, has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in all things broadcast media and community news, with hopes to one day grow into a world-renowned reporter.
The unique award-winning radio station has empowered countless South African children with voice and agency so they can exercise influence within the community and the issues facing them.
“Our station is continuing to work towards becoming more sustainable and I have pledged to support the station in any way I can,” Jesse explains.
At the upcoming cycling event, this young man will be pushed in a buggy by an experienced cyclist, Tristan Bergh, who has been working closely with the Warrior on Wheels Foundation.
With a fundraising goal of R10,000 set, any contributions to this campaign would be appreciated to help give more children facing severe health challenges a voice and enable them to make a powerful mark in their communities and beyond.
To support Jesse and Tristan, visit their GivenGain page to make a donation.
