VMMA Inc.

Joint Major Event Between

Event Details

The VMMA will conduct an 8 day charity fundraising ride around Victoria from 30 October to 6 November 2010. Named the 2010 ‘Breathless’ Ride, it will encompass 3000 kilometres throughout Victoria in support of Cystic Fibrosis Victoria; an organisation which receives no government or business funding to support its members suffering from this debilitating disease.

 

During the 3000 kilometre trip VMMA members will pay their own operating and accommodation expenses, with ALL donation money raised going directly to CFV.

 

The VMMA has been promoting this event over the past 9 months to all VMMA members in Victoria by providing them with a number of mail outs which have included general information relating to Cystic Fibrosis and updates on the progress of the planning of the event.

 

The ‘Breathless’ ride will start from the Melbourne Arts Centre forecourt in St.Kilda Road. The Grand Master has been invited to attend the start of the ride in addition to other Special Guests (to be confirmed by CFV). CFV have confirmed there will be media coverage of the departure along with daily media updates informing the local communities of our progress, inviting them to become involved by meeting with us as we travel through their community and to join with us for a fun night of fundraising games and trivia at each overnight stop.

 

A key element to the success of this event is the involvement of both Freemasons and the General Public; this involvement has been forthcoming with offers of support that have enabled eight venues to be secured at no expense along with local promotion of the event.
