Hi, to all our altruistic, generous and supportive family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. This is a request to all of you to support the latest charity project, aiming to raise funds and awareness for a couple of charities doing incredible work for those that need it most.

What are we doing to deserve your support I hear you ask yourselves.. well my partner and I will be taking on one of the hardest events in Marathon XC mountain-biking, often referred to as the Tour de France of MTB, the terrifying ABSA Cape Epic 2025, an 8 day race across some technical and challenging trails in South Africa. Climbing 16,800m (that's twice the height of Everest in a week) and over 600kms.

This is going to be very tough, we believe we can do it and your support will certainly keep us motivated to push on when it gets tough, and oh boy will it be tough.

The mission is fully self funded and every penny or cent raised will go directly to these charities. Thank you to our partners at CyberLogic and Y.CO for their support and alignment with our cause to raise money and awareness for these two deserving causes;

Yacht Aid Global - Supporting disaster hit remote communities across the world.

Huddle - An education initiative supporting the most underprivileged children in Southern Africa.

Thanks in advance for anything you can do to support these incredible charities and our mission to tackle the Cape Epic.

Stay awesome, Mike G x
