Challenge4aCause

[ibruegge]

The principle of Challenge4aCause is simple – Partake in an event where you undertake a personal and physical Challenge and raise funds and awareness for a noble conservation project.

 

In 2011 we are running 3 Challenges, all mountain biking events, to raise funds. We are aiming to raise 1.2 million Rands for the 3 causes that we support. The Save the Rhino Trust will use the funds for its anti poaching units that are protecting the largest free ranging Black Rhino population in the wild. The Wildlife ACT Fund will use the funds to develop and implement new anti poaching technologies for rhinos and monitor priority species on the 5 reserves that they have conservation projects on. The Good Work Foundation will use the funds to promote the education of disadvantaged individuals in rural areas.

 

The Challenges take place in some of the awe inspiring wilderness regions, think the vast space of the lonely Namibian Skeleton Coast, the rugged beauty of the Namibian Damaraland and the wildlife of the Botswana Mashatu Reserve.

 

We have successfully run 2 challenges in 2009 and 2010! It's not cheap, and participation requires fundraising, but it's probably the best non-competitive, multi-stage mountain bike experience:
