Riders invited to rally against cancer
THE Gronks Social Riders Club is calling all motorcycle enthusiasts and community members to join the 9th annual ‘Ride for Red’, a charity motorbike ride in support of Cancer Research.
This year’s event, taking place on Saturday, October 4, continues a tradition that began in 2016 in memory of a beloved friend who bravely battled brain cancer.
The ‘Ride for Red’ has grown each year, with 2024’s event seeing over 80 motorcycles and 10 cars join the ride, raising over $11,500 for Cancer Council Queensland. This year, the organisers are aiming to surpass that milestone, as they unite the community in the fight against cancer.
The ride kicks off from the BP Caboolture Northbound truckstop carpark area at 8:30am, with participants setting out on a scenic journey to Kenilworth and concluding at the Bribie Island Hotel.
The day will culminate in an afternoon going into the evening of live music, raffles, auctions, and the highlight of the event—the drawing of the major raffle prize. This year’s grand prize includes two nights’ accommodation for four people at the Sylvan Beach Resort on Bribie Island, a G’Day Adventure Tour for two adults, Australia Zoo admission for two adults, and a $100 meal voucher at the Bribie Island Hotel.
“This event is a special way to honour the memory of our friend and contribute to a cause that affects so many,” said organiser Gary Blake. “The support we’ve seen over the years has been incredible, and we’re looking forward to another successful ride.”
Participants and supporters are encouraged to follow the Ninth Annual Memorial Ride for Red event on Facebook for updates. Those interested in joining or supporting the event can contact the organisers, Gary at 0407 570 651 or Helen at 0400 983 792, for more information.
In addition to on-site participation, supporters can also contribute through donations via a QR code linked to the ‘DO it for Cancer’ webpage, ensuring that everyone can play a part in this meaningful event. All proceeds from the event go directly to Cancer Council Queensland.
