KDF Millennium Ride Gears Up For An Epic Journey

The season of giving does not end at Christmas as more than 60 cyclists take part in the KDF Millennium Ride next year from 23 – 26 January to raise funds for the Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF).

Organised by cycling group Epic Cyclist, the KDF Millennium Ride 2015 is a long-distance charity cycle that requires participants to complete 1,000 kilometres in four days, crossing borders at Malaysia and Thailand.

Epic Cyclist created these rides as a means to raise funds for a good cause, as well as to challenge its participants both as individuals and as a group. The volunteer cyclists come from all walks of life, and range from homemakers to banking executives, there’s also a 62-year old retiree on a classic steel road bicycle, proving that age is never a deterrent to get physical.

Through this event, Epic Cyclist hopes to raise at least S$300,000 for the less fortunate who require dialysis treatments. Corporations donating more than S$10,000 are eligible to place their company logos on cycling jerseys and safety vehicles, donations of S$5,000 and above can net their logos a spot on the jerseys, while contributions of S$1,000 and above will ensure a mention in the annual report. Companies who want to have their logos affixed to the jersey will have to sign up by 7 December 2014.

Individual donations start from S$5, and as mentioned above, donations of S$1000 and more will secure a mention in the KDF annual report. Both individual and corporate donors get a 2.5 times tax rebate if the donations are received by 31 January 2015.

All proceeds from the donations will be channeled to needy KDF patients.
