It’s easy to overlook the significance of chains in the context of cycling. They represent the rhythm of the ride, the synchronicity of motion, and the liberation of movement.
Yet, when chains are wrapped around the neck of a dog they represent the exact opposite.
That’s why 64 cyclists took on the Cape Town Cycle Tour with a mission greater than the race itself. They didn’t just participate in a race, they used the freedom of cycling to break the chains of cruelty. With every push of their pedals, they turned 109 hard-earned kilometers of asphalt into a path of hope and freedom for our four-legged friends and their impact resonates far beyond the finish line.
Their collective determination saw an incredible R255,837.30 being raised in support of the work of our inspectors, who will never stop fighting to give dogs on chains their freedom back. Click here to understand why.
To the TEAM SPCA Cyclists, we extend our deepest gratitude.
Thank you for using your strength, your skills, and your endurance to make a difference. Thank you for turning pedals into progress and kilometers into compassion. Because of you, many dogs will now experience the freedom to move around freely and engage in natural behaviours like running, playing, and exploring. And they will know love, so much love! Just look at Melon to see how much this means.
Thank you so much TEAM SPCA Cyclists! Your dedication inspires us all to pedal harder, push further, and strive for impact that resonates far beyond our own finish lines.
Sincerest thanks to our Team Sponsors Hills & Santam Switch for making our Team participation possible.
