Hey all!!

So thrilled as I have reached my target on given.gain for the Shova! THANKS THANKS THANKS and then some!!

 

Now I need yet another favour for a special cycling buddy. Ben started road cycling a few months ago with our club and showed incredible dedication and determination and went from super unfit to super fit in no time.. Our Club members got together and a mtb was donated to Ben and he also took to this like a duck to water, making us look stupid in the process. Even though Ben is kicking some serious butt, he has remained helpful and super humble!

 

Then Ben spotted us in our unique cow kit, enquired what CHOC was all about, wanted to know all about the very first KZN Herd launch and immediately told me he wanted to become part of the herd!! “I want to give back”…were his simple but powerful words to me.

 

So together we set up his fundraising plea letter which he will be sending out, but in the meantime some of you are perhaps willing to give Ben’s fundraising drive a small push in the right direction and donate a few Rands towards the amazing cause and help Ben to give back!

And I was about to post to try get some in on my account.... I'm a long way from the required amount, let alone my goal. This has been a tough year and my time for fundraising is limited.

 

Come on folk, support CHOC by donating via Ben's link above!

Thanks Slowpoke!! We've been getting some incredible donations/sponsorships for our little herd!

 

32GI is sponsoring our energy drinks/bottles and chews for the herd

 

Spur is donating vouchers to grab a burger at the finish line.

 

We have The Toy Factory Shop donating a R1000 in support of all the Cows taking on the challenge - this will be presented to CHOC at the finish.

 

Kim Photography has been taking loads of photos for various publications for free and has a special running at the moment where they offers photo shoots and R250 is donated back to CHOC.

 

so we are incredibly chuffed and so grateful that big companies actually give back!!

Hi bobbie

 

Many thanks for organising the sandwiches and cup cakes at the finish, it was nice to regain some energy.

 

It was an amazing turn out of cows, we sadly missed the charity start, but this enabled us to see the quantity of cows that had dropped back to ride with friends/family in other groups.

 

To follow on from bobbie's request, we are still in the process of fundraising to help CHOC, and i have started a seperate thread for fundraising towards the 94.7

Thanks again for everything.
