Personal message

The Freedom Challenge has a scholarship charity that they raise funds for. Awarding scholarships to deserving students down in the Maluti area. The thing I like about it is that it pays for the education of a school kid who may end up becoming a leader in his or her area or in the future the country, and maybe we can get a leader who passed woodwork not like our current crowd. Tim and I have decided along with a lot of the other guys riding that we would like to support the scholarship fund raising efforts, and we will be linking a page to the blog that you can log into and make a donation. Even if its small it all counts, if all riders in this years Freedom Challenge raise R1000.00 each that will sponsor two kids. Hopefully we raise more. Your help is needed please -track us on http://twofartstwobikes.blogspot.com/

Freedom Challenge Scholarship Fund

Charity Default Logo

Over the last number of years participants in the events arranged by the Freedom Challenge have expressed an interest in giving back something to the people along the route. After much consideration we have decided that a good starting point would be to establish an educational fund to benefit the scholars living along the Mehloding section of the trail. This section falls within the area formerly known as the Transkei and has been identified in various social development studies as one of the poorest parts of the South Africa.

The Fund offers a 3 year scholarships for promising students to attend the private school located at the Mariazell Mission just below the Malekhalonyane Chalets which is one of our support stations used for the Ride Across South Africa and Ride to Rhodes events. http://www.wix.com/allensharp1/fcsf

We are now challenging the 2014 FC participants to let their mountain biking passion benefit the local communities that span the Freedom Trail. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute directly to uplift the knowledge and lives of individuals and communities through education.

The Fund is run under the auspices of The Freedom Challenge’s annual, extreme and unsupported, mountain bike race extending from Pietermaritzburg to Cape Town www.freedomchallenge.org.za This is a project of the Freedom Trail Foundation.
