Sponsorship 2009
$1,455 donated to RFDS
On September 29 2009, Shire local Mike Brennan set out on a 590km bike race across the Simpson Desert, raising money for the Royal Flying Doctors Service as he went.
The race is across 9 stages, with a minimum pace required to complete each stage within the alloted time. If Mike falls under the required speed, he will be picked up by his support vehicle and only have the number of kilometres completed recorded.
Mike's preference is for sponsorship, so that the money he raises is the result of the number of kilometres that he actually completes. Mike's goal is to raise $10,000 (roughly about $20 per km). Kayaks Australia will sponsor Mike $5 per kilometre completed, so he is 25% of the way there, and it will just come down to the number of kms he completes.
