Immerse yourself in fitness for one weekend.

We will be collecting old race medals for Oliver Tambo Memorial hospital in Johannesburg and the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town. These medals are handed out to the many children that are patients. These medals become symbols of bravery and are handed to the children either post-op or when then are about to go home. Let us all make a difference in these children’s lives. Simply bring your medal with you to FIBO Africa and hand it on our medal tree at the entrance.
