Biking for a Bakkie




In April last year, 4 bicycle riders from Kidzpositive covered a distance of 1000 kilometres from Hamburg in the Eastern Cape Province, to the Children’s Ward at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. They raised one hundred and fifty thousand rand (nearly $ 20 000) in support of the Keiskamma Trust and its projects.

This year the bikers will ride the Freedom Trail and we are enormously excited and hope to raise the profile of this event. The dates this year are April 21st through to May 2nd with stops in Cambria, Studits, Willowmore, Rondawel, Prince Albert, Gamkaskloof, Vleiland, Anysberg, Montagu, Bainskloof.

Check out the Freedom Challenge Project http://www.freedomchallenge.org.za/

The aim is to raise funds via sponsorships from individuals and corporations and to demonstrate the connections between Cape Town and Hamburg, a city and a rural health district and the challenges we share.
THIS YEAR WE HOPE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR A NEW VEHICLE FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH WORK PROGRAMME.

We are looking for individual sponsors, who will be able to follow the progress of their ‘champion’ or ‘champions’ via our blog and Facebook.

As well we will acknowledge donations from business and corporate organizations on our Web sites and through our blog and Facebook, as well as in the Kidzpositive and Keiskamma Newsletters.

PLEASE CONSIDER HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT
THIS EXCITING EVENT IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
