Experience mountain biking at its best at the Fedhealth MTB Challenge at Root44, one of Stellenbosch\u2019s most iconic venues, on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September 2023. When entering online, mountain biking enthusiasts can also show their support for The Kindness Collaboration, the chosen charity of this fun-filled family event.<\/p>\n

Founded by Fedhealth and Operation Healing Hands (OHH), The Kindness Collaboration offers much needed support to South Africans who cannot afford quality medical care.<\/p>\n

“The Kindness Collaboration fulfils an exceptional role that we are immensely proud to support,” affirms Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cThe unfortunate reality is that not all South Africans have equal access to affordable, quality healthcare. Thanks to the partnership between Fedhealth, OHH, and The Kindness Collaboration, much-needed assistance is extended to these vulnerable families. We consider it a true honour to be associated with this outstanding initiative, and we would like to encourage the mountain biking community to demonstrate their support by donating towards the cause when entering the 2023 Fedhealth MTB Challenge online. Remember, no contribution is too small \u2013 every act of kindness makes a significant impact.\u201d\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Says Jeremy Yatt, Fedhealth Principal Officer<\/em><\/strong>: \u201cAs a medical scheme, Fedhealth is only too aware of the need that exists in our country to make life-saving and life-improving surgeries more accessible to all South Africans. The work done by Operation Healing Hands is truly inspiring, and as such, we couldn\u2019t think of a more worthy cause to support through the Kindness Collaboration initiative. We hope that all participants in the 2023 Fedhealth MTB Challenge will consider making a donation to this drive, however small, when entering online.\u201d<\/p>\n
