The Cableway Charity Challenge has been running since 2009 and is now in its 17th year. The event, started by Anton & Brigitte de Waal, to assist impoverished communities with educational assistance, has grown from strength to strength, becoming a unique Cape Town event not to be missed. In 2017, the JDI Foundation jumped at the opportunity to be involved with running the event alongside the de Waals. The event was initially run by volunteers who fall under the umbrella of the JDI initiative only. However, as of 2025, the event is run by Table Mountain Aerial Cableway who is ably assisted by volunteers who fall under the umbrella of the JDI initiative as well as the team from Wildrunner. You can be safe in the knowledge that whether you participate or sponsor, all your efforts are going towards a worthy cause.
