ride for recovery

The month of October has been deemed Ocsober, where South Africans and all those around the world are being asked to quit drinking for the month, as part of a campaign to raise awareness about alcohol abuse. Living Hope understand first hand the devastating effects alchohol abuse can have on an individual and family, because of this we created a Ride for Recovery event, where we take to the roads to raise funds and awareness of our Recovery Programme.

Ride for Recovery started in 2010 and has been an annual fundraising event for Living Hope’s Recovery Programme. The ride has always been marked with an enjoyable morning out with kindred spirits of the biker kind and every year the friendship circle grows bigger and bigger.

On 26th October 2014 in keeping with the theme of OCT-SOBER we will ride again. Many of us will know someone or know of someone who has been impacted by drunk driving, a terrible scourge in SA. In honour and memory of these people some who have passed on others who live with life crippling injuries we honour them with this ride. How appropriate that the proceeds raised will go to a Substance Abuse Recovery Programme.
