Ride for a Child, an annual 7 000km charity motorbike ride across South Africa to raise funds for under-privileged children\u2019s surgeries and medical treatment, will attempt a world record on February 24, to have the most motorbikes riding in staggered formation in Jeffreys Bay.<\/p>\n

Office manager, Joyce Crompvoets, said that Ride for a Child was initiated by the founder and CEO of Pediatric Care Africa, Dr Andr\u00e9 Hattingh, five years ago.<\/p>\n

She said that the annual Ride for a Child, a 7 000km charity motorbike ride around South Africa, will begin on February 11, in Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will visit the most northern, western, eastern and southern parts of South Africa to draw a symbolic circle around the children of South Africa, to show them that we care about them,\u201d said Crompvoets.<\/p>\n

Before heading back to Mpumalanga, the route will continue to Limpopo, North West, Free State, Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

Crompvoets said that through the Ride for a Child initiative they hope to raise R500 000, which will be used for under-privileged children\u2019s medical care and surgeries.<\/p>\n

She further said the funds will not go to specific hospitals or health care facilities; instead it will be used to pay for the treatment of individual sick children whose parents cannot afford medical treatment or surgeries, and are unable to be assisted by government hospitals or institutions. <\/p>\n

Crompvoets said that under-privileged children throughout the country will benefit from the funds raised.<\/p>\n

To add a unique twist to this year\u2019s Ride for a Child, she said that Hattingh is requesting all motorbike clubs, motorbike organisations and bike riders in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and the rest of South Africa to join him, as they attempt a world record to have the most motorbikes riding in staggered formation.<\/p>\n

Despite the Ride for a Child ride starting in Mpumalanga, the world record attempt will start 50km before the Caltex Mentors Plaza near Jeffreys Bay on the N2, on the Western side, and then travel towards Storms River and end at the Mentors Country Estate in Jeffreys Bay on February 24.<\/p>\n

Crompvoets said that bikers are required to meet at the starting point by 11:00, to allow all bikes to get into a staggered formation.<\/p>\n

She said that on signal and once everyone is in position, they will all start their engines and drive as one staggered group to the final point in Jeffreys Bay. <\/p>\n

\n
To establish this record, we need a minimum of 4 500 motorbikes to ride as one group in staggered formation for the last 50km to Jeffreys Bay for this world record attempt, and we will formally lodge our record attempt with RecordSetters in the USA.<\/div>\n
Crompvoets<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe need the biker community to make the fifth Ride for a Child bike ride a world record-breaking event. Let us show the world what South African bikers can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crompvoets further said that the record attempt will be screened on several TV stations, including in Australia.<\/p>\n

She said that special record attempt badges and Hattingh\u2019s cookbook, Cooking with Doc<\/span>, will be available for sale at the end of the ride.<\/p>\n

Crompvoets said that sales made from the badges and cookbook will go directly to Paediatric Care Africa.<\/p>\n

To join the motorbike ride, riders must pay a fee of R100, while pillions pay R50.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese funds collected will go directly to children\u2019s medical care and surgeries as part of our fundraising effort to assist children in need,\u201d said Crompvoets.<\/p>\n
