$200K raised in Ride Sunday
A total of 1300 riders took to the streets on Sunday, June 3, with resounding successAlmost $200K was raised on the Ride Sunday charity event held on Sunday, June 3, as 1300 motorcycle riders took to the streets across the globe.
Supported by Harley-Davidson, REV’IT!, Triumph and Royal Enfield, participants raised funds for 59 beneficiary charities registered on the Ride Sunday platform at www.ridesunday.com.
The top 20 fundraisers were each rewarded with a $US1000 REV’IT! gift voucher, while the three highest global fundraisers globally earned themselves a choice of a Harley-Davidson, Triumph or Royal Enfield motorcycle.
The top three fundraisers were:
• Mark Wotherspoon, who raised $20,444 for White Ribbon Australia. He requested a new Harley-Davidson.
• Blue Boy (choosing to remain anonymous) was hot on Mark’s tail as the second highest global fundraiser, raising $17,053 for the Movember Foundation. He’s now riding around a new Triumph.
• Sean Mooney rounded out the top three, raising $12,757 for the Sydney Story Factory, and was duly rewarded with a Royal Enfield Himalayan.
Mark has now received his brand new Fat Bob from Harley-Heaven, Sydney, with Ride Sunday founder Mark Hawwa and Harley-Davidson Australia Marketing Director Keith Waddell on hand for the occasion.
The Fat Bob has a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, a two-into-one exhaust system and a stage one heavy breather kit.
