"Thanks for checking us out! KIWL welcomes anyone seeking to 'get fit & give back' through sport & leisure. Cycling, walking, running, Futsal, golf, pub quizzes, social nights, there's something for everyone! Watch our short video for a taste of KIWL!
Our chosen charity, YouMeWe NPO, educates children living in care in Japan, giving them skills for a better start in adult life (see below). KIWL is indebted to its participants, sponsors, supporters and volunteers, who together have raised an astonishing Y75.3 million (US$717,000/GBP550,000) since our humble beginnings in 2013. Join KIWL and you too can get fit & give back!". Rob Williams, Chair & Co-Founder, KIWL |
LATEST NEWS:
Due to COVID19, the health and safety of our cyclists and those with whom they come into contact are paramount. We have sadly cancelled our annual 500km cycle ride for 2020 but we are booked to go again June 10-13 2021. The Knights will ride on!
COVID 19 permitting, we intend to do our Imperial Palace Walk in October and our equally popular pub quiz night, golf day and fun run. We remain hopeful of a full calendar of events in the latter part of 2020 for those wishing to ‘get fit & give back’ whether they are real or virtual!
The Y8,300,000 so far received from sponsors and donors is with our chosen charity YouMeWe NPO and already benefiting the children in care it serves. Thank you so much for your support and we hope all our followers and their families come through this challenging time safely and healthily.

KIWL'S 2020 SPONSORS
We are most fortunate to have the support of many firms. Their donations go directly to our chosen charity, ensuring disadvantaged children have opportunities which otherwise are not afforded to them. The needs of kids in care do not diminish and the sponsors' support is particularly appreciated at this challenging time.
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY:
YouMeWe educates care home children, giving them employable skills for adult life (click on logo). They offer support programs to allow a child to become a productive and independent young adult in their community. They develop language skills, financial literacy, and programming and coding ability. Help is also given with career counselling and higher education options. Attained skills, improved communication, and a career path understanding give the kids confidence and a dream of a brighter future. The kids also give back themselves by educating the elderly in their communities in the use of modern day devices. A complete cycle of giving back!
