Our Board ran another successful B2B fundraiser on 22nd March 2025. With perfect weather conditions, we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

A total of 12 riders undertook the challenge of riding from Kingston to Bordertown, with a further 4 riders doing a shorter distance. It is a great challenge for each rider, and we thank and commend them all for their efforts.

We would like to extend a warm thank you to our volunteers who supported the riders.

• Simon Ballinger: team captain, rider/bike logistics
• Susan Ballinger: catering
• Kylie Makin: logistics, catering support vehicle
• Leigh Muster: safety officer, bike transport, support vehicle

• Des & Denise Murray: hosts for coffee and morning tea pre-ride
• Sue Diment: end of ride function
• Paul Diment: BBQ master
• Linda Longbottom: pre-ride logistics and organisation

In total, an astonishing amount of $32,535.35 was raised. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this amazing achievement.
