Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
As most of you know, the fight against cancer is a cause close to my heart. This year I decided to join the 'herd' to help raise funds for CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation). The 'herd' of us will be cycling the 94.7 cycle challenge. I'll be considered a 'calf' and will be cycling alongside my other cow buddies who will either be dressed in cow suits or CHOC cycling attire.
The 2010 Stampede aims to raise more than R4 million for CHOC . The challenge for the 2010 Stampede is to upgrade the pediatric oncology wards at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. The pediatric oncology wards at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital provide hundreds of children from across South Africa with treatment for cancer. While some patients receive daily treatment through their outpatient ward, many remain in the wards for the duration of their treatment. The wards are in desperate need of upgrade to provide the level of care these children deserve.
Please support me in this awesome challenge by donating a cut of your A-grade beef (i.e. Moolah)

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation |
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation is a country wide voluntary organisation. It brings together the parents of children who suffer from all varieties of cancer or life threatening blood disorders. Funds raised are applied to directly benefit the children and their families, and to those involved in the treatment of these most serious illnesses. The goal of this dedicated group is to improve the welfare and quality of care for children with cancer. The organisation provides direct practical help to children with cancer, from diagnosis onwards, recognising the inevitable disruption to family life when a child faces vigorous and often lengthy treatment. The name CHOC (an abbreviation of "Childrens Haematology Oncology Clinics") was used by the first local parent group, established in 1979. In 2000 a new national organisation was formed, linking parent groups in all parts of the country. |
