Last year, over 500 participants joined the charity bike ride and raised more than QAR 40,000 to fund education of children worldwide.
After its huge success in 2018, Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel is proud to be hosting the biggest charity cycling event ‘Ride for Education’ through Road to Awareness initiative again this year.
