The Long Ride benefits cancer suffers

-

From September 28, over 300 motorbike riders from across Australia will embark on The Long Ride 2014, an annual initiative dedicated to raising awareness for prostate cancer and raising much-needed funds for families affected by the disease. Spanning six days, seven different routes, and all eight states and territorie­s it is a spectacula­r ride ending this year at Uluru, NT. Men in rural and regional Australia have a 21 per cent higher prostate cancer mortality rate than those in the city and this initiative is a great way to raise awareness of the disease in these areas which often need it most. The Long Ride involves participan­ts from all walks of life who are united by their love of riding, motorbikes and the knowledge that they are supporting a great cause.
