What do you get when you cross a kayak, a mountain bike, and 200km of Icelandic wilderness?
In Stuart Duncan Deel Smith’s case—you get a man on a mission to raise funds and awareness for a forgotten village in South Africa.
This August, Stuart is taking on the Rat Race Coast to Coast Iceland: a grueling 200km adventure across lava fields, volcanic plateaus, glaciers, and rivers. It’s not just for the thrill—he’s doing it for the people of Kalbaskraal, and specifically for the work being done by the No-Stone Foundation.
“They’re the kind of people who plant trees under whose shade they may never sit,” Stuart wrote on LinkedIn.
And he’s not wrong.
No-Stone runs grassroots projects in a rural South African village that’s often overlooked—from building libraries and worm farms to planting trees and feeding schoolchildren. We don’t make a lot of noise. But we move mountains one stone at a time.
Stuart’s journey gives us a voice in places we could never reach on our own.
