British Princes William And Harry on 1,000-mile ’endurance’ Motorcycle Rally in South Africa

British princes William and Harry began, over the weekend, a 1,000-mile ’endurance’ motorcycle rally in South Africa aimed at raising money for charities dealing with children. The rally organized by UK-based Global Enduro is called “Enduro Africa 08”

The pair admitted the eight-day adventure was “very challenging” as they have to contend with the wind, dust and rough road through their mission.

”We are bound to expect to fall off many times,” said the junior prince Harry, 24.

There may be an opinion that we are just riding bikes, but we are not. The whole background scenario of the charity side is hugely important to us, he added.

Prince William, 26, explained that he and his brother had decided to take part in the rally “because it’s a mixture of adventure and charity.”

The rally starts in Port Edward on the south coast of Kwazulu Natal province and ends in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape Province.

Under the “Enduro Africa 08”, funds raised by late Princess Diana’s children will go to UNICEF, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and Prince Harry’s Lesotho-based Sentebale, a charity for disadvantaged children.

Gobal Enduro is a company that runs many adventure fundraising events across the globe.

According to the organizers’ website, Enduro Africa aims ” to raise at least £150, 000 for South Africa and Lesotho.”
