This is my first Argus ride and to make the suffering more worthwhile, I am riding for a charity that is close to our families heart. I will be riding for the Children's Hospital Trust, with the theme this year being "Riding for Radiology" with all money raised going towards the upgrade of the Radiology complex at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town. Apart from the pleasure of helping this worthy cause you will also get the satisfaction of knowing I will be suffering in the saddle for 110km up and down the Cape Peninsula!!! Below is a little blurb about the Trust and what they do. For more information please visit www.childrenshospitaltrust.org.za

The Children’s Hospital Trust

The Children’s Hospital Trust was founded in 1994 as the independent Fundraising Arm of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa when the Hospital was threatened with closure due to a lack of funding. Since its inception the Trust has supported the Hospital through upgrading its buildings, purchasing vital equipment and funding critical training and research programmes.

In 2011 the Children’s Hospital Trust expanded its funding reach to projects beyond the Hospital’s doors within the Western Cape which will greatly impact paediatric healthcare and indirectly impact patient outcomes and services to the Hospital.

The Trust is funded from an endowment, ensuring that 100% of all donations received are used towards the projects and programmes we fund.  Not a cent is used for administration or operational expenses.

The Children’s Hospital Trust’s vision

To assist the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital by funding their identified priority capital, equipment, research and training projects, while funding projects beyond the Hospital's doors, which impact paediatric healthcare in the Western Cape.
