THE CAPE TOWN CYCLE TOUR GETS HEARTS IN MOTION FOR THE SPCA
It was an incredibly touching moment to be faced with a sea of SPCA supporters lining up to take on the Cape Town Cycle Tour for the love of all animals . With every peddle push they raised awareness for our work at the coalface of the prevention of cruelty to animals and every uphill climbed represented the struggle of every animal lost to intentional cruelty and neglect .
We salute every rider of our diverse team for cycling their hearts out including 4 cyclists who wore costumes to highlight the plight of wild animals and farm animals ( a Cape Fox , a Cape Leopard and a Lion and a Chicken ) as well as a very adventurous cyclist who cycled the entire distance on a BMX bicycle . 9 members of the Heart 109.9FM crew also joined our ranks with the
determination to make their race count for more and this year we also had our youngest ever participants , three 12-year-old boys who committed their race to the welfare of animals .
We can ’ t thank our cyclists enough for their belief in the work of the SPCA and their cumulative contribution of R334 809.00 towards our cause . When 91 hearts beat in unison and 91 souls unite for a common cause , miracles can be expected .
We also thank our Team sponsors , Bayer and Ultra Dog for enabling us to mobilise our troops and our prize sponsors , Bike Addict , SaK07 , Cape Town Cycles and Bondiblu for keeping our cyclists motivated with some incredible prizes .
