Personal message
Seeing that our 2020 Trans Elands 160km “extreme” MTB event has had to be cancelled due to COVID-19, it gives me (as Race Director) the opportunity to ride it this year on 6 June. Due to the lockdown restrictions my training has been far from adequate for an event as extreme as this, but I will take on the challenge in order to raise funds for CHOC. Please support me in raising much needed funds for CHOC. Any donation amount will be most welcome. Thanks for your support.

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA is the only organisation in South Africa that provides comprehensive countrywide support for children with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders, and their families. CHOC has a head office in Johannesburg, six regional offices, two branches, and 12 accommodation facilities close to treatment centres. CHOC relies heavily on corporate sponsors, donations from groups or individuals wanting to make a difference in the lives of these little ones.
Their comprehensive support improves the welfare and quality of care of children with cancer and offers families a wide range of psychosocial services and practical support such as counselling, free accommodation, free transport and transport fund to ensure that no child abandons treatment due to the family not affording transport costs, food parcels as they recognise the financial difficulties families often face and parent to parent support groups. CHOC also plays a leading advocacy role and promotes early detection to save lives nationally.
