Yamaha backs breast cancer racer

Amy O'Mara campaigns for a good cause

Yamaha Racing's support of emerging racers has extended to the GYTR FZ6 Cup with the manufacturer announcing they will sponsor Amy O'Mara to compete at each round of the championship on a bike which has been designed to raise awareness for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

O'Mara joins Yamaha Racing as a factory-supported rider with her racing bike to feature the distinctive pink which has become synonymous with the fight to find a cure for breast cancer. People will be able to make cash donations to the National Breast Cancer Foundation with special pink helmet collection tins that will travel across Australia for each round of the series.

After competing in various club and state competitions, O'Mara is looking forward to developing her racing career alongside her passion for the real-estate industry which she joined after being involved in marketing and graphic design.

"After watching a group of ladies riding one day I thought that racing was something which I could definitely do and with that I brought my first bike and started practicing. It is my goal to one day make the step up to the supersport category and be a real contender with all the boys," O'Mara said.
