The Fedhealth MTB Challenge, taking place at Blaauwklippen on 10 and 11 September 2022, is proud to continue supporting The Kindness Collaboration Project. When entering the event online, mountain bikers can show their support by donating towards the cause.
“We are proud to continue supporting The Kindness Collaboration Project in 2022,” says Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports and founder of the event. “Founded by Fedhealth and Operation Healing Hands (OHH), the project supports families that don’t have access to or can’t afford quality medical care. It’s a wonderful initiative that raises funds to cover the cost of preventative and life-saving screenings and or surgeries. Fedhealth MTB Challenge entrants can show their support by donating towards the project during the 2022 online entry process. No donation is too small and entrants that donate R400 or more will receive a rider jersey compliments of OHH and Fedhealth.”
“Fedhealth partnered with OHH to launch The Kindness Collaboration after an extremely difficult 2020,” says Jeremy Yatt, Fedhealth principal officer. “We are both proud and excited to continue the partnership in 2022. We cherish the opportunity to work closely with OHH, our members, partners and entrants to raise the funds needed to change the lives of South Africans who cannot otherwise afford quality medical care.
The Kindness Collaboration is a joint initiative between Fedhealth and OHH. All medical professionals associated with OHH provide their time and skills for free. The funds raised will therefore go towards expenses such as consumables and random medical expenses.
