The SPCA Midrand has a small team representing them at the 947 Cycle Challenge this year. But, what the team lacked in extra legs, they made up for with lots of heart. Together, the four cyclists raised over R40,000!
Midrand, South Africa (04 December 2024) — Sometimes strength in numbers is surpassed by strength of character, and one small team certainly proved this for the SPCA Midrand.
This year’s Pedal 4 Paws cycling squad saw fewer cyclists partake in the 94.7 Cycle Challenge as representatives and fundraisers for the SPCA. While this could’ve been viewed as a disappointment, it was instead translated into a challenge; an opportunity to do something exceptional without a big team on the road.
The participating members (legends Michelle Adlkofer, Dayalan Naidoo, Prishen Moodley and Mohammed Akabot) made up for what the team lacked in extra legs with an abundance of determination and excess heart.
Together, they rallied and united their respective and collective supporters to make the most of their efforts on 17 November. And make the most they did.
Proudly donning the SPCA’s cycling jerseys, they took the roads of Joburg on like superstars to a handsome sum.
As the SPCA Midrand proudly shares:
“This team went above and beyond to rally for funding from their family, friends and colleagues and raised a whopping R42 247 for our SPCA!”
To put how fantastic this is into perspective, cyclists riding for the SPCA Midrand were challenged to raise a minimum of R2,000. These four cyclists outdid themselves with full colours!
As the SPCA expressed with utmost gratitude, their small team exceeded all expectations. Thanks to them, festive financial worries will be far less apparent, and a lot of animals will now be able to get the support they so urgently need.
