On Friday the 11th March 2011, race director Mark Polley presented a cheque for $4500.00 to Ross Curtis at RFDS Central Operation, Adelaide. With all the problems of flooding and relocating the race to the Great Victoria Desert, we are extremely pleased to announce that this brings the total fund raising for the 2010 event to $14,823.90.
On behalf of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, we would like to thank everyone involved. Special thanks to all those who contributed via the mycause website. To support this years riders, go to the mycause.com.au website and donate online.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service provides critical aeromedical emergency and health care services across Australia, assisting more than 250,000 patients each year. Whilst assisted by Government, the RFDS relies on public support to purchase new aircraft – at a cost of $6 million each. Voted Australia’s Most Trusted Charity.
