SAMOA 2014

2016 FUNDRAISER FOR SAMOA CANCER SOCIETY

The riders going to Samoa wanted to do something for the Cancer Society Samoa to support their work and this is what we have come up with.

On 3rd September a social bunch ride will take place around the Bays in Wellington to raise funds for the Samoa Cancer Society.

Cyclists are encouraged to come along and go for a spin. Friends and Supporters are more than welcome to come along and catch up with everyone for a coffee at the Boat Cafe.

Cyclists will start from 8:00am and will ride with riders of similar abilities.  Riders will set off in bunches of 8-15 riders.  Each group will have a lead rider.

Walkers and runners are also encouraged to come along as there will be around Oriental Parade for those keen on stretching the legs.

It's not a race or a timed event.  You finish when you finish and enjoy a coffee and catch up at the Boat cafe.

Donations are collected on the day.
SAMOA 2014 was an USOme year for the team in Samoa.  Through our activity in New Zealand we were able to recycle 37 used bicycles, ship them to Samoa with the support of MATSON shipping and donate them to SAMOA EVENTS for use in schools, triathlons and community events.  Samoa events and the community appreciated the donation and many students were able to use the bikes while we were there in triathlon and cycle rides.

Many thanks to MATSON Shipping, SAMOA EVENTS and SAMOA CANCER SOCIETY for your support of this initiative.
