Wyndham 1000 with Les Porter. Raising funds for the Werribee Salvation Army. To raise funds for the Salvation Army in the City of Wyndham. 100% of the funds raised will be targeted towards helping the homeless, the disadvantaged and those at risk in our community. How will I do this? By riding an adult tricycle (non powered i.e. human powered) during daylight hours until 1000 kms are completed. Th

Thank you Major Phill, Major Catherine, Timothy Kite and Les Porter for attending the launch for the KMARTS wishing tree at Werribee, Manor Lakes and Tarneit Kmarts. We believe during this festive time, every family and every child should be blessed with a gift. If you are able, please pay and donate a gift under the tree or purchase a $2 voucher. Every gift, donation goes a long way and someone will be blessed.

Wyndham 1000 UPDATE:
This year, as in the past, the ride will be about βclocking upβ km. However this year will be a little bit different.
Les Porter, having ridden many kms each of the past 14 years, will not be able to ride at all this year due to having an operation and not being cleared to ride. Not what Les was hoping for but health and wellbeing comes first.
Phill Abram - Officer from The Salvation Army Wyndham City will be coordinating this years event. He can be contacted on: 9741 7359 or [email protected]
Thank you to everyone who might assist with riding kms this year. Please advise Phil, the above email or this page if you complete any kms, including;
- Name
- Date ridden
- Total kms
Thank you everyone! π΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈ
