THE POWER OF HOPE | Masaka Cycling Club Update With Ross Burrage - a podcast by Jordan Addison

“One of the most powerful things for a young person from this region is to develop a bit of hope; a bit of hope in their heart…Which might sound a bit dramatic and a long way removed from our lives, but for a young kid there that is living day by day, trying to find a feed, its survival every day there. So to create a bit of hope is the ultimate reason for doing this”

In this latest episode of the G!RO podcast, we check in with our good friend Ross Burrage. Ross started Masaka Cycling Club a couple years back in the Masaka province of Uganda… One of the poorest regions on Earth. His work there and founding of the Masaka Cycle Club Foundation, along with the support of cyclists around the world, is doing significant things in the lives of all involved with the club. G!RO has been supporting Masaka for over a year now, and it is a true honour to be involved in some small capacity.

Having recently partnered with Team Amani, Masaka is taking great strides in developing homegrown cycling talent, with the dreams of seeing its riders compete on the world stage. The impact this would have on the local region is such an exciting prospect, and one that is worth every effort made to support the club.

It was great to sit with Ross again to get the latest update on what is happening on the ground there. And also to hear how we in the UK can support what is happening moving forward. The key area of support of monthly donations of as little as £3 a month! For the price of a cup of coffee, you can contribute to the incredible work Ross and the team are doing. All the details for donations as well as the Jersey Fundraiser can be found here https://girocycles.com/pages/masaka-cycling-club

Please go and support… Every single £ goes to Masaka! We will be keeping you updated as to all the developments as the year goes on.

Also in April we will be launching a Masaka Campaign here in G!RO, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

We loved catching up with Ross, and know you will too.

So sit back, grab a brew & Enjoy!
