Biking in its third year, Firefly Night Race will ganer passionate cyclists from all walks of life in Asia to challenge 250km of Cebu's terrains from dusk to dawn.
This year, Firefly will raise funds for Life! Community Development (LCD), a non-profit organisation, in support of its efforts in community development in countries such as Acheh, Myanmar, and Laos etc. From 29 April to 5 May 2012, LCD will embark on a medical expedition to Santa Fe, one of the poorest municipalities of Cebu. With a population size close to 30,000, the village has access to only one medical doctor. LCD will provide free medical services and basic health advices for the villagers with the intention of helping them to improve their basic quality of life.
The Firefly Night Race - inspired by the insects’ goal of devoting every night of their short adult lives to the art of survival in how they live, love, and die – continue its belief in providing talented individuals an opportunity to realise their dreams and to have that light in them shared with the rest of the world.
Driven by a passionate and single-minded focus, the team hopes to continue to garner the support of families and friends who share the same aspirations, to pledge monies.
Firefly Night Race II and Firefly Night Race I were successfully completed by cyclists who challenged a 250km hilly route over 13 hours in Sabah, and a 1,000km route from Singapore through eastern coasts of West Malaysia into South Thailand respectively.
Participation Fees: S$400 (includes airfare, land transfers, meals and accommodation for 17 March - 20 March); and raise S$500 or more for the beneficiaries (get friends to pledge S$1 or more per km cycled).
