DISTANCE FOR DIFFERENCE!Who are we?!Distance For Difference (D4D) has been making a difference in the lives of children since 2005 and are celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2015. We use sport to raise money for children’s charities and individual children in need. For more information, please join us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/D4DSA visit our website at www.d4dsa.co.za. Email us at d4d@telkomsa.net or call us on 021 852 7081.

This event was successfully held for the 1st time in 2013. In this second installment, a small group of 20 cyclists will again stretch themselves to the (mostly unknown) limit of their abilities to cycle 500 km in 24 hours with short breaks every two hours. Additional riders will have the opportunity of each riding one or more laps with the initial group of 20 cyclists to contribute towards the fundraising efforts of the event and help us achieve our goal of raising R500,000. During the same 24 hours, a spinning bike marathon will be held at NH The Lord Charles Hotel. Companies are invited to book one or more spinning bikes for this unique team building opportunity! (Event marketing video: https://youtu.be/LMFpz-63ZUY) This challenge will be a tough one, but the difference it will make, will be worth it. The event will start outside NH The Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West on 17 October 2015 at 11h00 and will end 24 hours later. There will be media updates before, after and during the event. Sponsors can show their support in person at the start / finish and after each cycle lap, additionally, the event can be followed on the D4D Facebook account, (see above), which will be updated regularly. The progress of the cyclists will be tracked through an interactive internet map, via tracking units carried by the riders. Join us for a cup of coffee and something to eat at the events own coffee shop. The first two quarter finals of the 2015 IRB Rugby World Cup will also be projected on big screens at the event!

and presents

Through this event, D4D will once again attempt to raise R500,000, half of which will go to the event’s main beneficiary, PATCH / Helderberg Child Abuse Centre. PATCH provides child survivors of sexual abuse with 24 hr. crisis intervention, free professional therapy, court preparation, as well as providing prevention and awareness programmes in surrounding schools within the Helderberg area of Cape Town. This event will provide more than 80 children with the treatment and support they so desperately need. To find out more, call Patch on 021 852 6110, email them at childabuse@telkomsa.net or visit their website, www.patchhelderberg.co.za The remaining half of the funds raised will go to several current (and new) children’s charities who are dependent on D4D funds for their continued work. Most importantly: We take on this challenge with the words of Phil. 4:13 as our foundation and to glorify our Heavenly Father through everything we do.
