Burre Burger Challenges NC residents to join him on his Social Ride for Drought Relief

Burre Burger, CEO of Droogtehulp met Burre Burger NPC, has issued a heartfelt challenge to the people of the Northern Cape to join him in a charity drive aimed at supporting local farmers.

Burger, known for his philanthropic endeavours, took to Facebook to rally support for the cause and pledged to cycle an undisclosed distance himself.

“I don’t know how many kilometres I’m going to cycle, but I’m going to try my best to go as far as possible. I would do anything for our farmers,” Burger said, expressing genuine enthusiasm.

This exciting initiative, scheduled to take place on Saturday July 15 has garnered significant attention from individuals and businesses alike. Participants are encouraged to sponsor kilometres by contributing a mere R10 per kilometre.

There is no limit to the number of kilometres one can sponsor, allowing generous donors to support the cause to the fullest extent.

Burger specifically challenged businesses in Kimberley to rally behind this endeavour. “Let’s see who comes along for the ride and who sponsors this ride for a good cause,” Burger said, hoping to inspire the local business community to demonstrate their solidarity with the farmers.

The event, aptly named ‘Social Ride for Drought Relief’, will commence at 8am from Gumtree Lodge in Kimberley. The route spans a challenging 170 kilometres, with the finish line set in Petrusburg.

Participants can make donations at Gumtree Lodge on the morning of the event. Medical personnel will be on standby throughout the ride, ensuring the safety of all participants.

Waterpoints will be strategically placed along the route to provide riders with the necessary refreshments. Additionally, riders can indulge in post-ride food at Piet se Gat in Petrusburg, with costs covered individually.

Please note that participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation back to Kimberley after the event.
