RIDE FOR DANIEL
THE DATE WAS 8TH JUNE, 2008 Some time ago now, but a mate of mine sent me some picks and made a short video that is an easy watch, so it was essential that I kick started this blog off with this article for the new year, of a major, major, major (to coin a phrase, Barry Sheene )event.
We can't forget what the Ride for Daniel typifies. It has justly so, become to be the premiere child safety awareness event in Australia.
Thousands of biking enthusiasts from all walks of life across Aust. united together to honour Daniel (view previous post) and raise the level of awareness for child safety and protection. Funds raised on the day went towards education of children, and the general public through the work of the Daniel Morecomb Foundation.
