Children and adults alike could simply not wait for the scooters to drive in through the gates at the Beudene Daycare Centre on Thursday (26/01).
Riders of the TT2Sea adventure bike ride who drove accross Lesotho to the coast in November came to visit and handed over a donation of R200 000.
Wayne Thompson and a few of the 15 riders visited Beudene, a special daycare and therapeutic centre for 110 children and adults with special needs, on their colourful scooters.
Some children just could not wait to catch a quick ride.
The TT2Sea group, accompanied by riders from England and the Czech Republic, completed the adventure to raise funds for Beudene for the eighth time.
“Every year we drive to the coast to raise money for Beaudene. We are already planning the next trip, to Plettenberg Bay over 775 km in October,” Thompson said.
The group consists of businessmen who does this trip to raise funds and have a lot of fun along the way. They are supported by various businesses.
The yearly adventure has its origin in an idea to support Beudene because of one of the regular members, Shaun Stevenson, whose brother Casey attends Beudene.
“We know we support a worthy cause, a place of care and love for special people.”
Beulah van Aswegen, owner of Beudene, says the donation makes a huge difference to support them.
“Especially because we are closed during Decembers and because of the knock we took in the long closure during Covid-19.
“But we are doing well, thanks to wonderful people who support us with donations and amazing projects like TT2Sea.”
