Darren Rides for Kids

  • Posted: 4th September 2012

Giant Bicycles Australia General Manager Darren Rutherford recently rode 950 kms from Ballarat to Port Macquarie and raised $26,442 for the Kids Foundation, based out of Ballarat.

Darren has been involved with the Kids Foundation for the past decade.

He said that the weather was just about perfect each day, but tech support was kept busy with many punctures on the Hume Highway.

Media celebrities on the ride included Suzie O’Neill (Swimmer), Craig Alexander (Ironman), Dan Mc Pherson (Actor), Mitch Anderson (Ironman), Danny Frawley (AFL), Dwight Woodforth (Rock musician) and Adriel Young (Bondi Rescue).

The Kids foundation is dedicated to childhood injury prevention and recovery. For more information or to donate to the Kids Foundation, visit www.kidsfoundation.org.au
