Reseña del libro "The Lions on the Road: Cycling from London to Cape Town for Save the Children Fund (en Inglés)"

The Lions on the Road is a true tale of a lone Canadian who bicycled from London, England to Cape Town, South Africa in the early 1990s to raise funds and awareness for Save the Children Fund (STC).Wild animals, political upheaval, military confrontations, mechanical failures, debilitating illnesses and death-defying road conditions make this a page-turning 19,000 kilometre adventure. The story elaborates how it all began, how it was planned and then chronicles the adventure in a humorous style with over 140 maps and photographs. It details the emotional rollercoaster in gaining corporate sponsorship thus providing a cautionary tale for anyone wishing to navigate through the quagmire of obtaining corporate support.The Lions on the Road gives emphasis to the beauty of the African spirit by interweaving tales of acts of kindness, patience and generosity of strangers throughout the continent. In essence, this story is a loving tribute to these countless individuals who offered Fenech assistance and taught him that it is better to light a candle than to complain about the dark. Last but not least, this story highlights some of the important work that African and foreign organizations like STC do to ease the suffering of so many. Hence, a portion of the sales of this book will be donated to Save the Children Fund.
