The Knights & knightesses complete their 500km cycle ride.
37 men & women completed a challenging 500km cycle ride from Kinugawa Onsen to Ichinoseki. Inspite of sun, rain, wind, fog and a slippery descent from Mount Bandai, they arrived safely at the care home where they met the children for whom they were raising funds. The euphoria of completing a massive challenge and the emotion of meeting children who deserve better, created lifelong memories and happy, smiling faces. This ride and our other events in 2018 to date have raised over ¥9 million for disadvantaged and physically impaired children in Japan benefiting local NPO's, Mirai no Mori and Esperanza. Please spare 6 minutes to enjoy our official video courtesy of Custom Media, capturing who we are, what we do, and why.
