Motoring lovers across Geelong and the Bellarine are coming together on motorcycles and revving their cars to provide support to children living with cancer.
The Cruisin 4 Kids Unite Ride and Conquer for Camp Quality event will feature a day of wheels, music and community spirit on Sunday 14 December.
Organiser Michael Carlini said the event would feature all types of motorcycles and cars coming together to raise money for Camp Quality.
“We are looking forward to a good community vibe as you are getting car and bike enthusiasts together to support kids in need,” he said.
“Last year we raised around $5000, so this year we’re hoping for $10,000, but any amount would be amazing…and we’re expecting at least 300 to 400 bikes, and about 150 cars.
“We’ll try and get a big line with the bikes going first, followed by the cars with a bit of a gap in-between, and we want to show people and make a stance that we’re here for a good cause.”
Graeme McMahon has been helping fundraise for Camp Quality for 17 years and said he loved to help the charity support kids facing childhood cancer or the diagnosis of a sibling or parent.
“It’s a charity that I came across through a car event, and the first event was mainly about going to have some fun,” he said.
“Then you find out what Camp Quality does for children with cancer and how they look after them and their families; it just really melts your heart.”
Bikes and cars will depart from Moolap’s Club Italia at 10am and ride around the Bellarine Peninsula before finishing up at Queenscliff Foreshore Parkland, with live music and food available after the ride.
