Nairobi Woman Representative was among forty eight bike riders drawn from Britain, Australia and Kenya who on Sunday arrived in Mombasa after a three-day cycling event.
The 500km ride from Nairobi to Treasury Square in Mvita was backed by UK-based Raha international charity and Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa cricket club.
The event, Kenya Charity bike ride, was meant to raise Sh12.5 million to support education for needy children and enable them access healthcare in Kenya.
Speaking at the arrival of the riders, Mombasa Senator Mohamed Faki reiterated the county government’s commitment to developing the coastal county and serving the electorate.
The legislator also assured the contribution will help in educating youths and ensure their access to universal health care.
