Just a few hours on a bicycle can make all the difference to someone in need.
Even though my bicycle has only space for one person, this is a team effort. AND I WANT YOU ON MY TEAM. I need you help to accomplish some BHGs (Big Hairy Goals). Luckily you guys are pretty epic so the BHGs are do-able! ;)
Here's the BHGs:
#1 - I want to ride said 95km in 3.5 hours or less :O (Whaaaaaat?!!)
#2 - Raise R3000 or more for Botshabelo (Come on, this WE CAN DO!)
So here's the plan:
Ill do all the bike riding and try my best to do shave the BHG #1. Heck I'll even grow my moutasche as a reminder that some things need to be shaved! But I need your help for BHG #2.
Here's how you can get involved:
- donate a once off amount (eg. R50, R100 or maybe even R3000 ;) )
- donate a value per kilometre (eg between R1-R10/km)
Then there is also the....**THE DOUBLE DARE CHALLENGE**
**The double dare challenge is this. Make a donation. Pledge to double your donation should I ride under my goal of 3.5 hours. Help more BHG #1 and #2 become a reality
Lets give these big hairy goals, a big old shave and make a BIG HAIRY impact in the lives of others
