Siblings enter 3km children’s ride in support of hospice
The ride, with distances varying between 1km and 5km, caters for the age groups two-10 years.
Liam (6) and Isla du Toit (8) from Kempton Park are two of Stepping Stone Hospice’s entries in the annual 947 Telkom Cycle Challenge’s children’s ride.
Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services has been participating in this cycle event since 2014, having raised thousands of rands through the efforts of their cycling team. This year, as a first, they now boast with three entries into the Telkom 947 children’s ride on November 10 at Riversands Commercial Park.
The ride, with distances varying between 1km and 5km, caters for the age groups two-10 years.
It offers a wonderful adventure with closed off routes where children with different skill levels get to experience an exciting day out where winning is not the main focus, as everyone is a winner. All finishers receive a T-shirt, medal and goodie bag to celebrate their participation, and are able to enjoy some time together off their bicycles at the Spur fun zone.
The main race, now in its 22nd year, takes place on the November 18. Organisers have decided to reverse the route to make the ride fresh, exciting and more enjoyable.
