Get a Mooove on and enter the Compendium Mountain Bike Derby
Join the CHOC COWS at the Compendium Mountain Bike Derby on Sunday, 24th May at the Shongweni Polo Club. The COWS are a fundraising arm of CHOC (Childhood Haematology Oncology Clinics) who participate in various sporting events on an ongoing basis in a bid to raise much needed funds to support children with cancer all over South Africa.
A portion of funds raised from the Compendium MTB Derby will be donated to CHOC who do not receive funding from government and rely heavily on donations from caring corporates, individuals and parents of children with cancer.
Show your support and take part – there is a race for everyone, young and old! Choose between the 40km, 23km, 10km and 5km race. Once again, the COWS will be helping out as marshals throughout the 5km and 10km routes encouraging the children along.
In the words of Iris Varty, the Mamma Moo: “This was a great success last year as we had placed COWS at the bottom of the hills to carry bikes, children and sometimes bike and child in one go up the hills. There were COWS who handed out sweets to those super exhausted kiddies, or helped those who had totally lost their sense of humour, and soon enough the smiles returned!”
A food market and play area will be available on the day and there are lots of lucky draw prizes to look forward to, including a mountain bike sponsored by Cyclesphere.
