Jason Vanporppal received a heroes welcome when he arrived in Cape Town.
“People called me crazy for doing something like this. They thought it wasn’t going to work out until you do it and you show them. Please follow your dreams. Please don’t give up. Please keep going no matter how dark it looks.”
These are the words of American skateboarder Jason Vanporppal, who has finally reached Cape Town after completing an extraordinary journey across Africa.
Vanporppal received a hero's welcome when he arrived in the Mother City on April 25, marking the end of a 6000km skateboarding journey that began in Kampala.
The skateboarder travelled across the continent to raise funds to build a skatepark for disadvantaged children in Uganda.
