KIWL 500km Charity Ride 2024: Highway to Health

This is the story of John, a first time rider of the Knights In White Lycra 500km Charity Ride. Learn about his journey through the physical and mental challenge that is both preparing for, and completing 500km of distance in 4 days. His story is very thought-provoking, emotional, and John is a wonderful endorsement of a ‘can do’ attitude!

This video was produced by the vivacious team at Wild Tame, with proceeds from the ride going towards supporting the inspiring work of NPO, Mirai No Mori. Mirai no Mori is a not-for-profit organization that creates life-changing outdoor programs for abused, neglected, and orphaned youths in Japan, supporting their growth into happy and successful young adults.

Congratulations to all the Knights on a remarkable effort. The KIWL 500km cycle ride was sponsored by BCCJ members Astris Advisory, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Specialized Group, Robert Walters Japan, Jaguar Land Rover, Clifford Chance, Wild Tame, RGF Executive Search, Platinum Training Consultants and Intralink.

Also fresh for 2024, Wild Tame produced 2 videos highlighting both the challenges of riding 500km, and also the underlying KIWL underlying motto, ‘Get Fit and Give Back‘.
