Mountain bike riders can look forward to the Fedhealth MTB Challenge, taking place at Blaauwklippen Wine Estate in Stellenbosch on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September.
When entering the event online, MTB riders can show their support by donating towards the The Kindness Collaboration Project.
“We are proud to continue supporting The Kindness Collaboration Project in 2022,” says Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports and founder of the event.
“Founded by Fedhealth and Operation Healing Hands (OHH), the project supports families that don’t have access to or can’t afford quality medical care. It’s a wonderful initiative that raises funds to cover the cost of preventative and life-saving screenings and/or surgeries.
“Fedhealth MTB Challenge entrants can show their support by donating towards the project during the online entry process. No donation is too small and entrants donating R400 or more will receive a rider jersey compliments of OHH and Fedhealth.”
According to Jeremy Yatt, principal officer at Fedhealth, they partnered with OHH for The Kindness Collaboration after an extremely difficult 2020. “We are both proud and excited to continue the partnership in 2022. We cherish the opportunity to work closely with OHH, our members, partners and entrants to raise the funds needed to change the lives of South Africans who cannot otherwise afford quality medical care.”
