On your bike

After a 12 month fundraising campaign which included an Eat for a Cure dinner event, several Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, a Poker night, the popular Destroy-The-Susan-Boyle-CD event and a movie night, it was finally time for the CUBED “Campaigners for a Cure”  to hop on their bikes and take part in the JDRF Ride for a Cure around the Barossa Valley.

JDRF Bike Ride 2010

On Saturday 16 January, our team of ten riders took on the challenge of riding 160km or 80km up and down the hills of the Barossa. A very tough day but made all the more worthwhile with a tour of the wineries the following day.

CUBED were the largest fundraising team in Vic raising almost $70k.

Special thanks once again to our major donors and sponsors – AXA, Dennis Family Homes, Myer, National Pharmacies, Pegasus and University of Ballarat.

    To the Cubed Team,

    Fantastic effort on the fundraising front, just shows what a committed team can achieve. Well done.

    Jersey’s look fantastic, as all cyclists know this is important when wearing lycra!

    Hey Ned, not sure you’d fit in a basket without toppling the bike over. But you could certainly run alongside the riders. You any good at raising charity funds?

    Woof woof, Kate
