Tracy McKay is among a team of nine Team SA para surfing athletes who travelled – often solo on multiple 24-hour-plus journeys – to represent their country at the World Para Surfing Championship a few weeks after the gees of the Bok victory in Paris.

Along with seven other physically-impaired champions, athlete Tracy Mckay has proven that living with a disability is no barrier to achieving your goals, with the recent attempt of breaking of a world record.
In October 2020, famed mountaineer Saray Khumalo and breast cancer survivor Cindy van Wyk attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the most funds raised during an 8-hour cyclothon – a stationary cycling event – and they did it all in the name of digital literacy.
Supported by Momentum Multiply, Planet Fitness and Vuma, and thanks to the tireless efforts of 138 cyclists, #Spin4Literacy raised over R704 000 for iSchoolAfrica, a digital literacy programme that empowers rural schools through the installation of digital libraries. The #Spin4Literacy initiative is currently undergoing Guinness World Record certification for the most funds raised during an 8-hour cyclothon.
