This ride is to promote awareness of the Project Hope Foundation. We are a non-profit organisation that aims to reduce preventable deaths e.g. people who take their own lives.

We are also fundraising to open a Porirua/Wellington branch.

10:00-11:30am: The Road Captain will give instructions.
This rally is been helped by the Plimmerton Motorcycle Club whose members will distribute flyers around Wellington.

Anyone and everyone is more than welcome to join in. It doesn't matter what you ride so long as you enjoy it.

I will be back and forth to answer any questions you may have. Have an awesone day!

I don't know if this is allowed but if people want the flyer that aren't wgtn please pm your address or go to www.projecthope.biz and email your addy I will happy to mail these out and those that live around wgtn kapiti we are based at 90 Kapiti Rd I want the word as we are opening a branch in Porirua/wellington we are going to open throughout NZ but we have to fundraise to do so our mission statment isNZOP800 saving 800 kiwi lifes per year through preventable deaths we teach emontial good health and teach how to come out of the "high risk zone" we also help those that are left behind by those who have taken their life as we all go through hell when they do.. My Brother took his Life in Novemeber 28th 2007 this rally is in memory of him and all those that have taken their lifes the more people I meet and talk about this the more I want to do it before my brother took his life he tried to take his life in a car he was a harley boy and I am so pleased he didn't have his bike because it would of been a mess, I know that there are people on bikes/cars that try and I want people to know that no matter what you ride/drive people care. My brother once told me the best thing he loved to do was jump on his bike on a nice day and go for a ride he felt as though he was free.
I understand depression as I have suffered it to the point of a breakdown 6 years ago I understand the mental side of taking your life as I was close to it twice I understand the felling of being left behind and dealing with the mess.

we at Project Hope Foundation what to teach as many people as we can there is life out there on the flyer we have

CHOOSE LIFE

as a heading
hope this is a better explaination on the why we are doing this the founder of Project Hope son took his life so everyone that works with Project Hope understands

Hi Bauldy

No offence intended but this flyer does not say anything about what the ride is for .. .I anticipated learning something about the ride in the flyer .. no just the start date.
