How You Can Help
By Participating in the annual Cycle for Life Challenge you will be helping to raise funds for the Cycle for Life Charitable Trust (CFL).
All funds raised by CFL are spent on helping to improve the Health and Life Skills of New Zealand children. The Trust is a fully voluntary organisation with no one receiving any remuneration for running the trust or any of the events run by the trust.
By encouraging your friends and colleagues to ride in our event you will be helping to increase the amount we raise and therefore the amount we can use to help our children.
Challenge your work colleagues, sports team, friends and or family to enter. Or Challenge them to sponsor you.
If you cannot ride the event you can make donations to support the work CFL undertakes in the community at Lions Club of Bucklands Beach Cycle for Life Charitable Trust at
Westpac Bank 03 0166 0456649 00
