My Choices Foundation partners with Cycle for Good to mobilise people through the collective power of cycling and provide women and young girls with choices to live their lives free of violence, abuse, and exploitation. We encourage every cycling enthusiast to join the ride and support our journey to end gender-based violence and transform India into a safe and peaceful place to live in.
Cycle for Good is a virtual event inspired by being simple and “Doing Good”, covering 15 major cities in India. Through “Cycle for Good”, you can do good for yourself and others. You can choose and support the cause you are passionate about, the route, starting point, finishing point and time and date according to your convenience.
The coronavirus pandemic and the corresponding economic crisis impacted our fundraising efforts. We recognise the challenges are multiple, but the need to provide safe lives for children and women have risen as well. Recent studies indicate that lockdown and stay-at-home restrictions spiked domestic violence cases, child marriages and human trafficking. We ask for your help to meet the pressing need.
When you register for the “Cycle for Good’, a fixed amount of INR 100, 200 or the desired amount of your own will go towards fighting gender-based violence. My Choices Foundation, an NGO fighting gender-based violence will receive the fund based on the subject category. We encourage you to accept fitness as the new way of life as well as support a cause they believe in and register for the event. One participant can register for more than one category and can choose their own route and location. You will have to sync your activity through Google, Edomondo, GOQii, Fast Track, Run Keeper of any of the tracking device. E- certificates, medal, t-shirt, neck multi-wear will be awarded to the participant based on the selected category.
Cycling is a healthy low-impact exercise enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a fun- green activity bringing together society and decluttering the city. Apart from physical well-being cycling improves your mental well-being and boosts your immune system.
If you’re a cycling enthusiast or anyone who wants to be a change by being simple and “Doing Good”, seize this opportunity and be the change you wanted to be.
