A day out with friends and family, a ride and a beer at the end of it – what more could a mortorbike enthusiast want?
About $6400 for the RFS, it turns out.
After a horror bushfire season, the South Coast Riders – Social Motorcycle Club thought picking the recipient for their annual charity dice run was a no-brainer.
In past years, the group has donated the proceeds of their dice run to the NSW Cancer Council.
This year, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to the RFS for their work protecting lives and property over past months.
“These guys have worked so hard, sacrificed time away from work and families, and done a great job giving back,” club member Simon Ball said.
“We wanted to give thanks and hopefully make a difference.”
More than 70 riders braved the rain on Saturday, February 8, for the club’s fifth annual charity dice run.
Some came from out of the area, injecting much-needed funds into the region.
Members of West Nowra RFS said they were immensely grateful for the support.
“The generosity of the community is what keeps us going,” David Oddy said.
“We’ve been overwhelmed by it since the fires. It’s not just money, people have given us food, water, everything.
“This provides the extra stuff we need to be safer and better at what we do. Thank you.”
