Why We Care

Mental health and education are two causes close to our hearts. We've witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of mental health struggles and the transformative power of education. Our personal experiences fuel our passion to create a positive change. By supporting our fundraising campaigns, you're not only contributing to vital services but also investing in the well-being and future of our community.

Mental Health Fundraising Campaign

Mental health and suicide awareness are causes close to our hearts. Join us in supporting Pedal Project, which provides at-risk youth with mountain biking as a form of mental health support. Through mentorship, outdoor activity, and trail therapy, Pedal Project helps children develop resilience, self-regulation, and emotional well-being.

Your donation will help fund bike training, mentorship, environmental education, and therapy sessions, giving young individuals the tools to overcome challenges and build a brighter future.

Together, we can break the stigma, promote mental well-being, and give children the opportunity to thrive. Donate today and help save lives, build confidence, and provide hope.

Education Fundraising Campaign

Education is a core pillar of empowerment, and Pedal Project is committed to fostering learning both on and off the bike. Through our education fundraising campaign, we aim to support at-risk youth by integrating outdoor adventure, mentorship, and education. Your donations will help provide:

  • Scholarships and learning opportunities for young cyclists
  • Essential school supplies for children in the program
  • Access to life skills training through mentorship and outdoor education
  • Environmental education programs, teaching young people about nature and sustainability

By contributing, you’re not just giving money—you’re investing in the future leaders of tomorrow. Through Pedal Project, education goes beyond the classroom, equipping young individuals with the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to succeed in life.

About the race

ABSA Cape Epic

From March 17-24, 2025, we will embark on the ABSA Cape Epic, a grueling eight-day mountain bike stage race that traverses the stunning landscapes of South Africa. This challenging journey is not just a test of physical endurance but a mission to raise funds and awareness for mental health and educational causes. Each mile we ride brings us closer to our goal of making a tangible difference in the lives of those we support. Together, we ride for change, for hope, and for a brighter future.
