One ride, one purpose

A DEDICATED and determined group of cyclists are mentally and physically preparing to cycle 606km to break the cycle of poverty and inequality in the tenth edition of the Ride for MRP Foundation, taking place on 1 and 2 December.

The challenging two-day ride from Secunda to Durban, brings together individuals and businesses to raise funds and awareness for MRP Foundation to empower young people through education and skills development.

In 2019 alone 5,971 youth participated in skills development and 96,495 learners were impacted through the schools’ programme.

The annual 606km gruelling event is aimed at raising much-needed funds for MRP Foundation. The 2018 edition saw a 72-strong peloton raising the target of R2 million.

This year’s ride will feature a diverse peloton of men and women, ranging from ordinary South Africans and school children, to business executives and sports stars, all riding with a common purpose.

The group will arrive at CMH Nissan Durban, 115 Monty Naicker Road, at 4pm on 2 December.

The public can support the riders in their mission to raise funds and awareness for the Foundation through EFT, Paygate and Zapper donations.
