The Knights in White Lycra—our main fundraiser—is hosting another fun charity event
It’s time for a new adventure with our Back to Nature: Hiking program! Campers will be taught how to navigate and guide themselves using just a compass and a map
For its fifth anniversary, the Knights in White Lycra (KIWL) will see more than 40 riders complete a 550km journey from Tokyo to Ichinoseki, with an aim of raising sufficient funds to send 25 children to the Mirai no Mori Winter Camp for the next three years
