Reach 150...! Check back in March 2016 

About the Event

Reach 150 is an annual fun filled, family focused, mountain bike event organized by Mangapapa Church to raise funds for Ruel Fiji. 

Ruel Fiji provides free, life changing surgical treatment for Fijian children with operable facial deformities such as cleft lip and palate. For as little as $350 a child can receive corrective surgery for a cleft lip or palate from a team of medical professionals who donate their time and expertise.

All money raised from Reach 150 goes toward locating these children, even if their villages are remote, educating their parents about the corrective surgical procedure, transporting, accommodating and providing food for the child and a support person, medicines and any costs associated with the post operative care of the child.

Money is raised by riders collecting sponsorship per lap ridden or through donation.

Solo riders — one rider completes as many laps of the designated circuit as possible, outside assistance may be given with regard to feeding and mechanical mishaps i.e. no pushing or pulling of solo riders allowed!
