Womens Refuge Ride

[alexthekidd]

After the success of todays ride for hope and talking to my mum she asked me to have a talk to some people and ask for an expression of interest for a fundraiser.

My Mum works for the Women's Refuge and is a member of the fundraising committee there, so in July the Refuge hold their annual street appeal collecting money to raise awareness against domestic violence and to protect women and children who are being abused.

She had an idea to possibly run a charity ride similar to the project hope rise organised today, that could coincide with the street appeal or later on in October/November time of year?

So bottom line, would KB'ers be interested in this sort of event?

Really, mum said noone up at Kapiti had ever even heard of anything like that taking place.

Sorry about that guys, Feel free to delete the thread mods

Don't be like that Alex.

White Ribbon ride.

Do a search and it will show up. I think it even starts in Kapiti usually.

Yup had a look at it now Jim, seen it and have told mum to let the people at the Kapiti refuge know.

Thanks for help Him

You're very welcome. It gets good support from KB, that ride.

Anything like that down in Christchurch? I'd certainly go on it if so. (We bought a house previously used as a short term shelter for battered woman and I think the spirit of the place has inhabited my soul).
