Nick and Catherine Cape Argus Madness!!!!

Nick and Catherine Cape Argus Madness!!!!

Funds Raised:
R 13 720
Fundraising Target:
R 21 600

Personal message

1 in every 5 children in South Africa do not receive any Early Childhood Development Training. It costs R180 a month to send a child to an Early Childhood Development Facility = R2160 a year!

We have decided to buy a tandem bike and cycle the Argus in order to raise funds for 5 children to go to school.

This is really a HUGE challenge not only for Catherine, who can barely walk to the shops down the street, but ESPECIALLY for Nick who will most likely be dragging Catherine up every hill!

Please sponsor us in this crazy adventure, you will be doing your bit to

- build stronger and healthier communities

- Reduce the crime rate

- Lower Social Costs

- Contribute towards creating more productive and contributing citizens

and Economic improvement

 

p.s. I kindly request that you do not base your sponsorship on the fact that we have to actually finish the race ON TIME! We plan on finishing it, but may not be in the allocated time allowed :)

Our bike is about 102 years old (think Cool Runnings and the Jamaican Bob Sled Team) so we might have to carry it over the finish line!

Offline donations - special thanks to Mr and Mrs Pieters for their donation of R250!

Afrika Tikkun

Charity Default Logo

Afrika Tikkun (AT) was founded in 1994 with the goal of developing and uplifting young people in disadvantaged communities resident in the Republic of South Africa. With like-minded partners, Afrika Tikkun aims to end child poverty and youth unemployment through a holistic approach that begins in early childhood and ends with productive adults accessing the economy. Our approach provides all-inclusive care (nutrition, health and social) services and helps SA’s youth achieve success with a model called Cradle-to-Career 360°, which has earned Afrika Tikkun recognition for being one of the most impactful organisations in South Africa. We operate from four centres in Gauteng and one in Cape Town.
