How many times has one of us heard that! But it's true, we are MAKING a DIFFERENCE (MaD) via our fundraising. That difference is to the lives of some of the 680,000 Australian children living in disadvantage. These children through social circumstances, not some fault of their own or by choice, are unable to access the same educational resources and opportunities many of us take for granted.
Just remember NOT ONE CENT of the entry fee for this event goes to the Smith Family charity to assist their work in keeping disadvantaged children in the education system. Educational opportunities are recognised as the best chance these children have of breaking out of such a cycle of disadvantage.
Everything raised for the charity comes from donations and sponsorship made to the riders taking part. For the last 2 years Monash has distinguished itself as the highest fundraiser in the educational institute category and make no mistake we are back to defend our title.
With the same number of riders as last year if each of us raises just $50 ($10 each from 5 friends or $5 from 10!) we'll make our target easily. That is if every one of us on the team steps up and pulls their weight. The side benefit is you'll have extra motivation when the going gets tough and you remember that your riding for the kids.
So come on and lets "GO TeamMONASH!" by encouraging people you know to get behind our team, get your friends, family, colleagues and business associates to back you. Please get them to DONATE by clicking on the button to the right and help The Smith Family raise $1,000,000 to help disadvantaged Australian children realise their potential through education.
