The Fundraiser is a 24hour handcycle relay race where able-bodied and disabled athletes will do laps of People’s Park track to raise fund and awareness for Ethembeni School and other charities focussed on disabled and visually impaired kids.
Teams will do as many laps as they can of the track and compete for the longest distance covered and most money raised.
Each team should raise a minimum of R20 000. We currently have 10 hand cycles but could recruit more.
*Ethembeni School is a school for physically disabled and visually impaired kids.
A disabled playground will cost R142000.
We plan to make this an annual and national event and would aim to raise enough funds to build a playground for disabled kids and then the committee will decide how the rest of the funds are split with a focus on athlete development and the purchasing of necessary sporting equipment.
