Cycling for Life to raise funds for Helderberg Hospice
This is an indoor endurance cycling event with a difference – which makes a difference!
Sponsored teams of cyclists spin on their bikes mounted on trainers, pounding the pedals for 12 hours to raise funds for Helderberg Hospice. Each team member rides for an hour at a time and at the top of the hour the number of kilometres clocked up is recorded onto a data base. High-energy music sets the tone and fuels the pace, backed up by complimentary food, drinks and spot prizes throughout the day to boost the cyclists’ staying power.
Many of the cyclists ride because they have been personally touched by the special care of Helderberg Hospice. Some ride in memory of a loved one, others in solidarity with friends or family receiving treatment for cancer. You are invited you to be part of this amazing event, which transforms energy into money!
Teams can enter into one of several categories: Challenge (3 members), Corporate (6 or 12 members) and Social (12 members). Each team is asked to raise a minimum of R3000 entrance fee but the more sponsorship you can get for your team, the better…
Cycling for Life is one of the most important community fundraisers for Helderberg Hospice so this is our opportunity to raise as much as we possibly can. Teams wanting to ride for 24 hours are also welcome and special respect is reserved for those individuals whose endurance levels are tested to the extreme by undertaking the Solo Saddle Challenge – either for an epic 12 or 24 hours!
You may enter the Challenge, Corporate or Social categories but the following restrictions apply to all and may not be deviated from: Road bikes: Front chain ring max 53, rear cassette min 11 Mountain bikes: Front chain ring max 44, rear cassette min 11.
Cycling for Life is a day for the whole family – there’s plenty of food and drinks on sale, big screen TV and fun activities for children. Collect your entry form from, get your team together, grab your sponsors by the wallet and gear up for a day of fun, hard riding and the best reason to be in the saddle – to support Helderberg Hospice!
The event will take from 15 – 16 May 2015 at Somerset House, Drama Street, Somerset West. For more information on Cycling for Life contact Patricia McNaught Davis. DOWNLOAD FORMS HERE
