Hi guys , there's a guy up here on the Sunshine Coast in Qld by the name of Jamie Lord , he's had some bad luck lately , more than anyone would want in a lifetime , firstly he's a fellow bike rider who's wife died of cancer in her 30's and 6 months later while riding his bike Jamie had an accident and became whats called a ventilated quadraplegic , which basically means hes on a ventilator and cant move from the neck down and requires 24 hour care .
He also has a 4 yo daughter Isabella to look after , he was riding alone and your not covered by any third party insurance etc under those circumstances , so he's in need of some help , what we are trying to organise in October on Saturday the 13th is a charity ride for him , trying to get up to 200 bikes involved and would be leaving from Dayboro showgrounds travel over Mt Mee as a group and will finish at the Ettamogah pub where we will present his mother and brother with a cheque for whatever money we have raised .
Saturday 13th October 2012, keep the date.
Starting at Dayboro showgrounds gates open at 7am where breakfast will be available
Finishing at the Ettamogah pub live entertainment for the afternoon.
Registrations will be online once the website is set up (beginning of August).
Entry fee of $10.00 per bike, you must PRE-REGISTER, no registrations on the day.
Each registration will receive a pack, with relevant forms and a book of 20 raffle tickets at $5ea. Each person who registers a bike is asked to sell the book of raffle tickets to family, friends, work mates, neighbours, your sporting group or anyone else you know. This will help us reach the $20,000 mark.
