A convoy of Postie bikes are making their way from Mackay to Bundaberg and back in a bid to raise vital funds for regional families battling childhood cancer.
The annual Postie Bike Safari will see over 40 riders cover 1,800 kms over a week-long escapade around regional Queensland. Along the way they’ll bring gifts and spread awareness about Childhood Cancer Support and the services they offer for regional families who must travel to Brisbane for life-saving cancer treatment.
So far, the group has raised over $110,000 and Childhood Cancer Support Committee Member and Postie Bike Safari participant, Bert Pulman says they are proud to raise funds for such an important charity, with Bert having first-hand experience of the support Childhood Cancer Support offers.
“The team picked Childhood Cancer Support as their charity again this year because they can see the impact their services have by accommodating regional families with children that require treatment for cancer,” says Bert.
“I personally have used the facility when my son was receiving treatment in Brisbane.
“Childhood Cancer Support is thankful for any money raised and thanks all the riders, organisers, support people and sponsors that have done such an amazing job in raising funds so far.
“We keep off the main roads and hit the dirt as much as possible. We have a great team of riders and support members who enjoy the eight days on the road raising money for a well-deserved charity.”
