WIMA Linen Run

[MadDuck]

It appears that this years Auckland Linen Run has been cancelled due to lack of response by the Womens Refuge. I reckon its a damn shame myself!

Its the one opportunity for WIMA (yes you guys - us girls what ride bikes) get to organise and do something good for a charity. SO any ideas from the KB forum I could take to next Auckland WIMA meeting for a way to raise the profile of bikers and give summit back to the community feel free to offer suggestions.

Ummm...womens prostitution is not going to be taken seriously <_<

maybee a ronny run or maybee a blood run
Ya need a good cause to stand behind.
I can't believe womens refuge isnt interested.
What about some kids charity

I can't believe womens refuge isnt interested.

Perhaps a little publicity would help. I went last year but have not heard this year.

[MadDuck]

no point in publicity when the organisation you are trying to support isnt interested. My understanding is that WIMA nationwide is struggling to get the Womens Refuge motivated.

I thought I would post to get ideas cos it seems there were a few KBers at the last run and it was mentioned at the Starship ride. OK it is slow and short but theres nothing like stopping traffic in the big smoke :) and always the opportunity for a ride afterwards.

Kids charity would be a grand idea. Ronny run is done by Talamarkos

How about something for abused -or underprivilaged children

Wellington WIMA does the Breast Cancer run. How's that?

[MadDuck]

Auckland Branch have decided the same thing. Now thats summit we could get the blokes interested in I reckon.

Sorry fellas no topless riding is going to happen (umm without a BIG fee - note a BIG fee!) but a great cause to be behind

Um?

Homless Jelly Wrestlers? Clothing drive for street walkers (although they probably won't thank you)

:rolleyes:

No, seriously.... I organise our company charity work (how did I get that job?) and we have done a lot of stuff but one place I NEVER have trouble getting a response to is the Hospices....

Sadly, you have to experience the pain to realise the thankless job they do at no charge. It is a life changing experience. We do still 9as a company) do subsidised work for a local Hospice and I wish i could do more.. Fine people and a really worthy cause...

Cheers
