Riding for a Cause: Luciano and Banister Take on the Absa Cape Epic for CANSA Active

Luciano and Banister, two dedicated athletes and cancer awareness advocates, will be riding the legendary Absa Cape Epic 2025 in support of CANSA Active. This grueling mountain bike stage race is one of the most challenging and prestigious in the world, attracting cyclists from across the globe.

Luciano and Banister are not only taking on this incredible challenge for personal achievement but to make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer. By riding for CANSA Active, they are raising vital funds to support CANSA’s care and support programmes, empowering individuals and families affected by cancer. They share some of their thoughts, below:

Why we ride:

Our bikes offer us super big smiles, an opportunity to challenge our abilities and push ourselves out of our comfort zones, balance to a highly paced professional world and time to connect with like-minded lekker people.

What we ride for:

As always, it’s once again an extremely great honour for us to represent CANSA at the 2025 Absa Cape Epic, where we will aim to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and families affected by cancer, whilst we contribute towards the broader fight against the disease, by raising funds and awareness to support the soldiers of CANSA who fight the disease that affects so many lives on a daily basis.

In 2025 we will be taking on the untamed fueled by an even deeper motivation and passion!
