Sani Dragon joins hands with Lettie Love Fund

ORGANISERS of the Fedauto Sani Dragon, in association with Mortimer Toyota, have joined forces with the Lettie Love Fund ahead of this year’s race on Friday 30 September and Saturday 1 October in an effort to raise awareness of and funds for cancer treatment.

With normal entries for the two-day mountain bike race having closed on Friday 26 August, the event – which includes the unique opportunity for participants to summit the famous Sani Pass by bicycle – has committed to donating the entry fees of the first ten late entries to Zoog Haynes’ organisation.

“We’re very excited to welcome Zoog and his Lettie Love Fund on board. Through our ten late entries agreement, we hope to donate over R20 000 to his fantastic initiative. We will also create a ‘Pink Mile’ during the event that will see Zoog covering the post and rail fence at the Underberg Farmers Association’s Showgrounds in pink, to help create a bit of cancer awareness as well,” said co-race organiser, Spurgeon Flemmington.

Started as a means of raising funds during Haynes’ wife, Nikki ‘Lettie’ Haynes’ fight against cancer, the Lettie Love Fund has since grown into an organisation that provides a door-to-door transport service to currently disadvantaged cancer patients.
