Cyclelab doing a Teddy Bear ride for charity

[Cycle Junkie]

We at Cyclelab SuperCycling did a Teddy Bear ride in aid of an AIDS orphanage about 10km outside Magaliesburg, run by Con and Marion Cloete where they take care of 248 orphans and sexually abused children. During the past few weeks we had toy and clothing collections at Cyclelab, which culminated today with a Teddy Bear Ride to the orphanage. We were fortunate enough to receive generous donations from both club members as well as visiting cyclists. Today each cyclist that went to Magaliesburg, took a teddy bear or soft toy along. After our arrival they had the oppertunity to receive the toys we brought and enjoy boerie rolls (400 of them) and these kids enjoyed it thouroughly.

But.. as they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words...
