Are You Ready for the Challenge,
the Adventure, the Experience and
the thrill of riding 3200 kilometres from
Cairns to Melbourne along the Inland Outback route.
This will be the Ride Of a Lifetime !
We will have Fun, Fellowship and a heaps great time !
But this is also a ride with a Purpose.
We are riding to raise funds to support a number of Bible Society Mission Projects.
- Bible distribution in Australian schools
- Bible distribution for Chaplains in hospitals, prisons and mission to seafarers.
- To provide Bibles, Literacy Education, Health & Hygiene etc in a number of Indigenous Communities in Northern Australia
- To provide support in the training of Aboriginal Pastors at the Wontulp-Bi-Buya Aboriginal Theological Training College in Cairns, Queensland.
- Distribution of The Prize sports Bible and DVD
- Grants to assist Scripture and Religious Education in schools.
We will be attempting to raise $100,000.00 on this ride. Most riders will be attempting to raise in excess of $5,000.00 each, so they need all the support you are able to assist them with in this incredible Epic Journey down the middle of the East Coast of Australia.
This is a BIG ride with a Big Purpose – can you help ?
