RIDE for Sight will take place on Sunday, February 14, at Boksburg City Stadium.
The 28th edition of the event remains a seeding event for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Cash prizes valued at R82 000 will be awarded in CSA Cycling categories. Lucky draw and donation prizes worth over R200 000 will be up for grabs.
The Dis-Chem Foundation will once again match all of these lucky draw donations over and above event entry fees. All the proceeds will fund genetic tests for financially disadvantaged children.
To support the fight against blindness, Vision Works Optometrists will be offering free vision screening during the month of February. Vision Works will also offer free vision screening on race day, at the race venue, in partnership with Ekurhuleni Metro Municipality.
Enter now and help restore the gift of sight. All proceeds from the event go directly to finding cures for retinal blindness. Over the last 27 years this event has raised more than R5 million for research into these blinding conditions.
