The Wheels 4 Life cyclists will be riding from Johannesburg to Sun City on 9 December 2009 to raise money to buy wheelchairs for 4 children from the Hope School. The school is a government institution for physically disabled children and, due to serious funding issues, it is impossible for the school to provide the individualised equipment which many of the children require to enable them to be as independent as possible. In particular, the budget does not extend to specialised wheelchairs which many of the weaker children require.

The ride to Sun City will be done in one day and will be the longest ride that many of the cyclists have done. We hope to raise enough money to buy wheelchairs for all five children. Also riding will be Tendai Khumalo who will be doing the distance in his handcycle.
