Get Fit and Give Back with the Knights in White Lycra!
The Knights in White Lycra is an amateur international sporting group of men & women of all ages and abilities raising funds for disadvantaged children in Japan. If you cycle, run, walk, play golf or football, or just exercise your gray matter, we have an event for you! ''Get fit & give back''. In only 5 years, KIWL has raised ¥44.5 million (US$416,000) for disadvantaged children in Japan, thanks to sponsors, participants, & supporters.
