"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power."

MAN OF THE YEAR

I can clearly remember it as it was yesterday when i met Ryk Neethling...
November 2004, a couple of days after he won the ultimate prize - Gold and a World Record performance in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Through the years i have seen Ryk breaking a couple of world records, develop as a person, signing up incredible sponsorship and endorsement deals, face and deal with person traumas - especially when it comes to his sister's illness and live a very disciplined life.
I have never met a person that has shown so much dedication to something he loves and believe in.
I have personally learned amazing life lessons from one of SA's (if not the world's)most sexiest men.
Ryk has taught me that i should never settle for less than anything i deserve. He has shown me how i deserve to be treated as a woman.
Ryk has also taught me that with discipline, hard work and outstanding dedication, you can make any dream of yours come true.
The past year especially i think this amazing man has shown dedication, strong will and the fact that faith produces unbelievable results.
Now, with him standing at another cross point of his life, i would like to salute you my friend and wish you only the best and know that you will make a success of yet another faze of your life!
