Robin Lewis speaks to us about Numinous Expeditions
DESERT FM July 22, 2025
We bring you a story of courage, purpose, and life-changing impact — one that begins with a promise made in a hospital bed and stretches across the African continent, saving lives and inspiring hearts along the way.
We’re talking about Numinous Expeditions, the incredible initiative founded by Jolandie and her partner, Robin Lewis. What started as a recovery journey after a bone marrow transplant for a rare condition — Fanconi Anemia — quickly turned into a humanitarian road trip across Africa. Armed with a converted work truck named Betsy, they’ve delivered help to animal shelters, supported community clinics, and most notably, launched Matches on the Map, an initiative that has already resulted in a successful life-saving stem cell match — right here in Southern Africa!
Joining us now is Robin Lewis, co-founder of Numinous Expeditions, to talk about the heart behind this journey, the road they’ve travelled, and the impact they’re making along the way.
