Personal message
The Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge takes place on Sunday the 15th November 2015 and we'll be riding for children with cancer.
This cause is incredibly close to our hearts as we tragically lost our dad in September 2013 and then our uncle, and second dad, in March 2015 to this devastating disease. It has since become our mission to ride the 94.7 every year that we possibly can in their remembrance as well as for those who have lost their battle and those who continue to fight.
We have chosen to “ride for a purpose” and will be supporting the Rainbows and Smiles Childhood Cancer Foundation. This is a small foundation that supports children fighting cancer. One child at a time, Rainbows and Smiles provide emotional, social and financial support to families in need when a child is diagnosed with cancer. The founder, Bonita Suckling lost her only son Jed to brain cancer when he was only 6 years old. Their mission is to provide children with cancer the best quality of life and to do whatever it takes to hear the words "no evidence of disease".
We would be eternally grateful if you could please help us raise funds for such a valuable cause and to make a difference in the life of a child with cancer.
To help us raise funds, please click the Donate Now link on this page. No amount is too small and every rand sponsored would be hugely appreciated.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR MISSION :)
