Welcome to the Long Ride™ to Uluru - 28th Sept to 4 October 2014
The Long Ride™ is designed to encourage you to do something totally different in your life.

The Long Ride™ will enable you to touch upon the freedom seldom experienced by riding around your local area. You can do this by taking a chance, meeting a new challenge and experiencing life on the road through the most beautiful country in the world. There is no better way to spend your time and energy. If you want a challenge, to do something different, if you want to make a contribution to the community, then join the Long Ride™ and visit places you have never been, make new friends and above all make a difference.

Fact Sheet:
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Australia (except for non-melanoma skin cancers) and the second greatest cause of cancer deaths in men. It is estimated that over 18,700 new cases were diagnosed in Australia. Tragically, more than 2,900 Australian men each year die from prostate cancer. In the early stages, there are few symptoms of prostate cancer; however, if detected early, prostate cancer is often treatable and curable. This is why men aged 50 and over, or 40 if there is a family history of prostate cancer should not wait for symptoms; they should talk to their doctor about prostate cancer - a simple step that could save your life.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia
The PCFA plays a vital role in the fight against prostate cancer and devotes all of it resources towards reducing the impact of prostate cancer on the community. The goal of the PCFA is to reduce the impact of prostate cancer on Australian men, their partners, their families and the community; to represent the interests of all Australian men diagnosed with prostate cancer. The PCFA works to raise awareness and attract widespread financial support for the work of the Foundation to: fund research into the causes, detection, diagnosis and improved treatment of prostate cancer; to provide information, support and counselling to those affected by prostate cancer; and to raise community awareness of the incidence of prostate cancer, thereby encouraging earlier detection and more effective treatment of the disease.

Each participant is encouraged to raise $1000.00 in donations from any source that you can. Each rider is encouraged to seek sponsorship from any source for goods or prizes that you may raffle locally to add to the amount of donations you raise. You may consider running BBQs, special dinners, seeking corporate sponsorships or just spreading the word about Prostate Cancer. The method you choose also brings with it a responsibility to enjoy yourself and to ensure others know that you are making a difference in the operation to protect your menfolk. If every rider or participant raised a $1000.00 each, what a difference this would make to you and to others. All donations are to be deposited in the Long Ride™ account BSB 732732 Account No 512793.
