12 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS, LET'S DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR CHRISTMAS 2015.
Come
15 – 18 January 2016, Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF) will held
its annual KDF Millennium Ride 2016 for the 3rd
year organised by Epic Cyclists. Over 70 cyclists will be
participating in the KDF Millennium Ride and riding 1000km in four
days to raise funds for the Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF).
KDF is a non-profit
charitable organisation that provides subsidised dialysis treatment
to needy members of our community. KDF is focused on a niche group of
patients, who are from the lowest 10 per cent of the income group and
referred by medical social workers from the restructured hospitals.
Most of these patients – if employed - hold jobs such as cleaners,
hawker assistants, store assistants and taxi drivers.
Held since 2014, the
annual KDF Millennium Ride is organised by Epic Cyclists, a local
cycling group, and known as one of the most physically and mentally
demanding rides in the region. Cyclists will endure at least 8 hours
of cycling to complete a distance of 250km each day through various
types of terrain and weather conditions from Malaysia to Singapore. (Check out the Youtube clip for KDF Millennium Ride 2015 below)
In 2015, A total of
S$322,000 was raised through KDF Millennium Ride this
year was matched by the Community Silver Trust Funds at 40%,
making it a total of S$450,800 for KDF. Epic Cyclist hopes to raise
at least $300,000 in 2016 for the less fortunate who requires
dialysis treatment. (Check out the Youtube clip for The Closing Ceremony of KDF Millennium Ride 2015 by Channel News Asia below)
This year Chubby Botak
Koala and Little Devil will volunteer as Safety Drivers to somewhat
contribute to the welfare of the Epic Cyclists. With this, we hope
that to raise more awareness and share the passion and mission of
helping KDF patients.
All proceeds from the
donations will be channelled to the needy kidney patients under the
care of Kidney Dialysis Foundation. Members of the public can donate
