ZULULAND cycling enthusiasts are urged to support the Dis-Chem Ride for Sight 2016 event, which takes place from Boksburg Stadium on 14 February.
The route via Alrode to Heidelberg and return includes a 116km seeding event for the Cape Town Cycle Tour, as well as the 62km Vitathion Challenge.
Not only is the cause a worthy one – proceeds will fund genetic tests for financially disadvantaged children – but there are plenty of prizes up for grabs.
All proceeds 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.
Online entries close on Monday, 1 February.
Cash prizes valued at R82 000 will be awarded in CSA Cycling categories, while lucky draw and donation prizes worth over R200 000 are also on offer.
Remember to add at least a R20 donation to your entry fee, which will put you into the draw for a wonderful prize for two lucky cyclists: a Trek Bike valued at R40 000 or a seven-night holiday for two at Michamvi Sunset Bay resort in Zanzibar, valued at R42 000 (flights excluded).
The Dis-Chem Foundation will once again match all of these lucky draw donations over and above event entry fees.
