The First Journey (2003)<\/h3>

Back in 2003 \u2014 23 years ago \u2014 Wayne Price, known as _\u201cThe Gentle Giant\u201d_, led the very first walk of The Bigg Pull. With the backing of Hands On and a seasoned team from Gentle Giant Promotions, he gathered 20 strength athletes and set out on a journey that would become legendary.\n\nFor 35 days, the team walked from Centurion to Cape Town, pulling a truck km by km, rain or shine. There were storms that soaked them to the bone, blazing sun that drained their water bottles dry, and long nights where sore feet made every step feel impossible. But they kept going.\n\nAlong the way, miracles happened. Strangers handed them food and water, children ran out of their homes to cheer, and whole towns gathered to welcome them. For the athletes themselves, the pull was as much inner as outer \u2014 each carried personal stories, wounds, and hopes, and the road stripped them raw until only honesty was left. Friendships formed, tears were shed, and lives were touched in ways no one expected.\n\nIt wasn\u2019t just a test of strength. It was a story of people pushing past limits together, led by Wayne Price and his vision, and supported by a team that knew how to turn suffering into something meaningful.\n\nThat walk in 2003 lit the spark. Now, more than two decades later, The Bigg Pull returns to remind us what happens when ordinary people pull together.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
