I am cycling in The Argus cycling race which is a 110km bike ride around Cape Town, which I am hoping to complete in less than 7 hours. 

The money that I raise is going towards the children's cancer ward at The Red Cross Hospital. It is a home to remarkable children, who are fearlessly fighting a cruel battle. 

Specifically the money is going towards - 

• Increasing the number of isolation rooms for transplant patients who have severely diminished immune systems
• To give parents and patients better access to more bathrooms 
• To increase the number of consultation rooms for doctors 
• Create critically important space for family counseling 
• Create a new space for clinical research. 

I'm sure you can see why I agreed to cycle in The Argus. I know if I can raise enough money and help even just a little bit, it will be worth the gym sessions, wearing lycra and jelly legs. 

Thank you so much for your help and support,
