A total of 73 participants registered for the 25km ride on 15 February, 2015, with the youngest at just 6 years old! Together, they cycled 1,825 kilometres to kick start UNMC's
15th anniversary celebration.
To date, more than RM5000 has been raised and it's still going strong. Donations collected will go to the UNMC Foundation to support staff and student-led educational projects for the benefit of underprivileged groups and communities.
Provost, Professor Christine Ennew said that, “It was a superbly organised day and I know that a lot of time and effort went into the planning. And I’m really grateful to all involved for giving up their Sunday to help out!”
The committee extended its sincerest gratitude to everyone in making the event a success, as well as to staff members who donated even though they were not able to join in on the ride.
