The Gronks Social Riders Club is calling all motorcycle enthusiasts and community members to join the 8th annual ‘Ride for Red’, a charity motorbike ride in support of Cancer Research.
This year’s event, taking place on Saturday, October 5, continues a tradition that began in 2016 in memory of a beloved friend who bravely battled brain cancer.
The ‘Ride for Red’ has grown each year, with 2023’s event seeing 86 motorcycles and 12 cars join the ride, raising over $14,000 for Cancer Council Queensland.
This year, the organisers are aiming to surpass that milestone, as they unite the community in the fi ght against cancer.
The ride kicks off at BP Caboolture Northbound, with participants setting out on a scenic journey that will conclude at the Bribie Island Hotel.
The day will culminate in an afternoon going into the evening of live music, raffles, auctions, and the highlight of the event—the drawing of the major raff le prize.
This year’s grand prize includes two nights’ accommodation at the Bribie Island Hotel and a full-day BBQ boat hire.
“This event is a special way to honour the memory of our friend and contribute to a cause that affects so many,” said organiser Gary Blake.
“The support we’ve seen over the years has been incredible, and we’re looking forward to another successful ride.”
Participants and supporters are encouraged to follow the ‘Ride for Red Annual Charity Motorbike Ride’ event on Facebook for updates.
Those interested in joining or supporting the event can contact the organisers, Gary at 0407 570 651 or Helen at 0400 983 792, for more information.
In addition to on-site participation, supporters can also contribute through donations via a QR code linked to the ‘DO it for Cancer webpage, ensuring that everyone can play a part in this meaningful event.
All proceeds from the event go directly to Cancer Council Queensland, helping to fund critical research and support services for those affected by cancer.
Don’t miss the chance to be part of event. Whether riding, volunteering, or simply showing up to support, your involvement makes a difference in the fight against cancer
