Still time to join in Tearfund’s Cycle for Freedom with Ruan
On Wednesday, June 14, Ruan Pienaar’s Cycle for Freedom will take place on County Antrim’s spectacular north coast road.
It’s a 90–km Tearfund–organised bike ride in the company of Ulster’s soon–to–depart South African rugby legend, the aim being to raise £1,000 per kilometre to help protect children at risk.
That’s the target – £90,000.
Highlighting the event and its purpose, Tearfund’s Interim Northern Ireland Director, Paul Francis, recalled the words of Frederick Buechner who once wrote: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
Paul added: “At Tearfund, we want to help you find the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
“Together, as we follow Jesus where the need is greatest, we find that God has instilled in each of us a unique set of passions, skills and opportunities.
“Perhaps you’re a keen hiker, or baker, or banjo–player. But if cycling is your passion, do not miss this opportunity: sign up to raise £500 or more, thereby helping protect up to 2,500 children like Mazna while doing something you love!
