Cairo to Cape Town to raise money for cochlear implants for children

I just recently got an email from these guys who are planning to do a bike ride through Africa, Cape to Cairo, to support an organisation called Hear Us which raises money to sponsor cochlear implants and provide deaf children with the gift of hearing.

Normally funds are raised per individual operation. Our goal is to raise a large sum of money and place it in a trust, the interest raised off the capital with sponsor 1 operation per year initially. As the trust fund grows more and more operations will be possible. This is a sustainable initiative and lies close to my heart as my brother was born deaf (and incidentally received his cochlear implant a little too late in life to provide full benefit).

Check out the video below explaining the project in more details and visit their website.
