Cancer Fundraiser for Newborns Trust

[Tjommie]

Hi Fellow cyclists

 

Last I lost a dear friend to cancer (Burketts Lymphoma). He was diagnosed in 2009 and within a space of 9-10 months lost his battle.

 

In memory of Nasser and fellow cancer sufferers we as a group of friends decided to do the cycle tour together and raise some funds.

 

We have chosen the GROOTE SCHUUR NEWBORN TRUST as the beneficiary. As some of you may of heard there is a campaign going in conjuntion with Heart 104.9, Cape argus and Pick 'n Pay to raise money to buy incubators for Somerset Hospital. Last year the campaign was for Groote Schuur itself.

 

We also arranged with the cycletour trust to start in a special group.

 

We having prints made with his photo and will be selling it for R100 each. Philip from RAPID SPORT has kindly offered to supply the material and stitching free of charge. We only have to pay for the printing. All proceeds will go to NEWBORNS

 

I would like to appeal to all fellow cyclists to make a donation even if its not R100, any amount will help.

 

Should you require further info I can put you in contact with the Fund raising manager of the new borns trust (Erica Jacobs) who will gladly supply you with further info.

 

I've been in the neonatal unit twice as my wife works there, once before the new incubators and once afterwards. I can cetainly tell you that your donations and contributions will go a long way in helping those premature babies, They are literally the lengh of a size 10-11 cycling shoe and weigh between 800-1000 grams

 

My no is 073 2789112 if you need more details

 

Thanks
