KTM Rallye auction to support RFDS

KTM Australia is auctioning off the ‘001’ rider number, with proceeds to be forwarded to the Royal Flying Doctor Service

The 2018 KTM Australia Adventure Rallye in the Northern Territory has announced a community partnership with the iconic Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

In support of this partnership, KTM Australia is auctioning off the coveted '001' rider number – complete with a spot on the Rallye – with all proceeds going to the RFDS.

That’s right – if you missed out on getting into the rallye, which sold out within hours, this is your chance to head into the outback.

The highest bidder will win  001 and a spot on the 2018 KTM Australia Adventure Rallye.

All proceeds from the auction will go to the RFDS. Bidding starts at $2500 (standard rallye fee), and is open to all KTM adventure riders who meet the requirements of entry to the rallye.

You can still bid for the 001 number and if you win, your $2500 Rallye rider fee plus all proceeds from the Auction go towards RFDS – and the first rider from the waiting list will get a spot on the Rallye, with their $2500 Rallye fee going towards RFDS.

Through an Everydayhero website, registered rallye riders are encouraged to setup a profile page and raise funds through their network of friends, family and colleagues, with all funds going towards helping keep the RFDS crews in the sky. For more information, click here.

Nationally, the RFDS performs 100 aeromedical evacuations every day and provides the finest emergency and primary health care to more than 280,000 Australians each year – that’s one person every two minutes. The RFDS relies on fundraising initiatives and donations from the community to purchase and medically-equip their aircraft – at a cost of more than $7 million each.
