Children in Club Rainbow range from newborn babies and youths up to the age of 20 years. They require frequent visits to hospitals for treatment, complicated therapy and long-term medication. On the recommendation of their respective doctors, these children are referred to Club Rainbow for follow-up support. As a mother of 2 young children, I wanted to do my part for these children.
With a pledge of riding 100km, I managed to raise $2,870!! Thanks to all my generous friends :)
On 3 October 2014, Children's Day, more than 300 riders set out from Asia Square. Some were riding 60km, some 100km and some 140km. It was one of the most well-organized and sponsors supporter event I have participated.
There were free flow of Starbuck coffee to keep us awake. Bananas to keep us energized. Mineral water for hydration. Pizzas to fill us up before the ride. After the ride, there were Macdonald Sausage McMuffin as breakfast. Ice bath for muscle recovery. On the spot massage station to relieve the muscle aches...
The routes were well-planned. As it was not a race, every rider was riding responsibly and everyone doing their part for the charity event.
Did I mention that the jersey was very comfy and came in women's cut? Finishers received a New Balance sponsored jersey :)
Before we left Asia Square, my friends and I were already discussing about signing up for this event again next year.
Kudos to Club Rainbow for a well-organized fundraising event!
