Talking to TshisaLIVE, Derrango revealed the awareness campaign that will see him and a group of supporters walk from Newcastle to Durban:

"The walk is to raise awareness as a person who has suffered a stroke and survived. I wasn't doing the entire route from Newcastle to Durban as I'm not 100% fit, I was doing 2km."

He went on:

"I will be in Durban when they [the other teams] reach that side so we can get a welcome from other artists, the mayor's office, and the Department of Health."
