Bishops R930k for Langa

The energy inside Bishops Diocesan College was electric this past weekend as hundreds of cyclists came together for the 24-Hour Cycle Challenge, raising more than R930 000 for the VUSA Rugby and Learning Academy in Langa.

Now in its fifth year, the event has grown into Cape Town’s biggest stationary cycling fundraiser, bringing together schools, corporates, families, and even DHL Stormers players.

From Saturday morning, 6 September, through to the early hours of Sunday 7 September, participants kept the wheels turning nonstop in support of VUSA’s work with over 1400 children.

The academy, founded more than 20 years ago by Bishops Prep teacher Brendan Fogarty, provides after-school education, tutoring, nutrition, structured sport, arts, and mentoring to children in Langa.

The aim is to create safe spaces for learners to grow and thrive.
