Balance Charity Bike Ride
The Balance & UTS Tri Club raised over $4,500 for the Foundation on the Charity Ride on 11 December 2011.
The ride began in Glenorie with the 50+ riders and support teams receiving a pep talk from Reg King from the Lynne King Foundation.
The weather was beautiful when the ride began but then deteriorated into a thunderstorm and constant rain.
Reg and the other support teams also joined the riders for morning tea at Streeton's Lookout in Cattai.
But despite the weather and being wet, cold and covered in mud, all finished the 116km journey, including Cheri's parents Val and Paul who were riding fold-up bikes! What an effort!
The Foundation would like to once again thank the Balance Tri Club for their support and effort on this ride.
We would also like to take this opportunity to encourage others to organise their own fundraising event just like the Balance team did. It's easy to raise money, just visit Go Fundraise http://www.gofundraise.com.au/CharityDetail.aspx?cid=133 and create your own fundraising Page.
Well done Balance team!
