The aim of the ER24 Road Rangers is to render a service acceptable to the cycling and motorcycling community of South Africa to ensure road safety at these events. The New Jerusalem Home is located in President Park in Midrand and looks after 80 children from multiple backgrounds. The home has seen large amounts of development since its opening in 2000 and is in the process of establishing a pre-primary school that will educate children from the community and The New Jerusalem Home.

Charles Wilson, GM - Operations at Gallagher Convention Centre says "The charity run for the children of the New Jerusalem Home provides us with the opportunity to give back to our community. By bringing bikers from all over the Gauteng province and possibly even from other provinces, we can make a difference to the lives of these children.
