Bikers raise funds for Children's Cancer Institute
Monday, 12 November 2007
More than 3,000 motorbikes roared through the Snowy Mountains at the weekend.
The bikers headed off from Jindabyne for the fifth annual Snowy Mountain ride to raise funds for the Children's Cancer Institute. The rally wound its way through most alpine towns before ending up in Thredbo, on a route that has become a motorcycle mecca.
More than $500,000 from riders' entry fees, raffles and donations has been donated since the ride's inception. The event also provided an economic boost for accommodation and entertainment businesses in the region. It is the first of a number of motorbike rallies this week.
About 300 riders in the Ducati Turismo rally will ride from Albury to Thredbo via Cooma and Bemboka during the next three days.

The WA Making a Difference (MAD) Ride Committee would like to announce the date for this years
"Making A Difference Ride", Sunday 23rd September 2007.
The MAD Ride is an annual event organised by the Making A Difference Ride Fund; a registered charity run by a dedicated group of Perth motorcycle riders.
The goal of the charity is to raise community awareness and funds for the spinal injuries ward of Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital (The Sir George Bedbrook Ward) and REDS Spinal Research Laboratory at the University of Western Australia.
With the help of the City of Stirling, Australian Transport Safety Bureau, St John Ambulance and Community Road Safety Educators, the MAD Ride also hopes to enhance perception and understanding of motorcycle related injuries, road safety and injury prevention.
This year’s MAD Ride is expected to involve a procession of over 1,500 motorbikes gathering at Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital from 7am for breakfast. Riders are encouraged to donate $10 to participate in the ride with a gold coin donation for pillions.
The ride winds through the north-western suburbs of Perth before arriving at Scarborough Beach at approximately 11am. A full police escort and ample guides will ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.
Upon arrival the riders will be greeted by a lively community festival with live bands and other entertainment. In addition there will be food and drink vendors, give-aways and prizes, sponsors marquees, an auction of memorabilia & artwork, static displays of motorcycles and related equipment, children's rides and many other activities to keep the expected crowd of 3,000 people entertained. In addition the WA Autotrader Show 'n' Shine Competition will be held.
Due to generous contributions from local businesses the prize money being offered makes the MAD Ride Show ‘n’ Shine one of the premier events of this type in Australia.In this, as in previous years, the ride is proudly supported by generous community sponsors and guests. The City of Stirling Mayor is a strong supporter of The MAD Ride. In 2005 the inaugural MAD Ride was an outstanding success, with significant support stemming from the local community, sponsors and media.
The outcomes from the MAD Ride 2005 surpassed all expectations and with 500 riders generated over $10,000 for Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital. With these funds, a computer room was established for the patients in the Sir George Bedbrook Ward. Not only did this prove to be a vital asset for patients, but it also assisted in strengthening the overall morale in the ward. Then in 2006 the MAD Ride involved in excess of 1,000 riders and raised over $25,000 which was presented to the Royal Perth Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital and REDS Research Laboratory at the University of Western Australia.
