Spinning for a Smile
The 2019 Canal Walk Cyclethon gears up to raise money for the Smile Foundation
Cape Town, 25 February 2019 – Following a successful inaugural event in 2018, Canal Walk Shopping Centre (CWSC) will once again host the annual charity Cyclethon in aid of the Smile Foundation. Taking place on Saturday 2nd March 2019, Centre Court at CWSC will once again be filled with eager cyclists of all ages who will help raise funds to give the gift of a smile to young children in need.
The sessions (using stationary bikes donated by Planet Fitness), are 50-minutes long and start from 10H00, with the last at 13H00. Cost of entry is R160 per person. If last year was anything to go by, hundreds of participants will join in the fun, as The Canal Walk Cyclethon is not only an excellent way for families to get fit while doing something meaningful, or for novices to take their first ride, it is also the ideal warm up for the fast approaching Cycle Tour. Corporates are also encouraged to participate - with their colleagues, challenge competitors, or even sponsor a time slot.
Hedley Lewis, Smile Foundation CEO, is delighted that Canal Walk Shopping Centre will be hosting the event again saying: “It is an absolute privilege to partner with Canal Walk Shopping Centre, an organisation that genuinely and wholeheartedly comes on board for the benefit of those in need. Their commitment in uplifting South African children’s lives is hugely commendable. We are hugely grateful for this unbelievable opportunity and look forward to many more future collaborations.”

Canal Walk Shopping Centre’s, Marketing Manager, Vanessa Herbst is just as happy that the centre will be hosting this community minded event again, she said: “Last year we were blown away by the support from members of the public, companies, individuals, mums, dads, school kids and even random shoppers who joined in. It’s a good feeling when people come together for a good cause and especially when that cause is to help others smile. We can’t wait to see what this year’s event brings.”
Imagine being able to smile uninhibited and unencumbered by disfigurement for the first time and forever more. Imagine then, the power that particular smile can have on the person giving it and those receiving. With that in mind, it’s time to get your gear on and saddle up. You can do that by booking your seat for this year’s high-energy, fun-filled Canal Walk Cyclethon by going towww.smilefoundation.co.za.
