Camp Quality is very excited to
welcome Catherine Britt as one of our riders for the
Glencore 1,000 K's 4 Kids.
The 1,000 K's 4
Kids is an amazing bike ride adventure that raises much needed funds for the
inspirational kids of Camp Quality and their families. Camp Quality is pleased to announce that this year's main sponsor
will be Glencore, formally Xstrata Coal, and so our ride shall be known as
"Glencore 1,000 K's 4 Kids". The event
is growing every year - in 2012 a team of 30 cycled from Ipswich to
Newcastle.
The 2012 route passed through the
towns of Toowoomba, Warwick, Tenterfield, Glen Innes, Uralla, Tamworth,
Gunnedah, Murrurundi and Singleton and saw:
·
50+
towns visited
·
19
schools visited
·
4144
children witnessed the McDonalds Camp Quality Puppets
·
400
people welcomed the riders home in Newcastle
Each year the event continues to grow
and raise more funds to help create a better life for every child living with
cancer in Australia. In the 2011 ride, 18 riders participated and raised
$115,000. In 2012 participation in the ride grew to 30 riders who rode and
raised $250,000.
The 1,000k’s 4 Kids continues to grow
quickly and in 2013, the 3rd annual 1,000k’s 4 kids is anticipated to be even
more successful with 42+ riders and 20 support crew expected to participate and
ride along the same route with the aim of fundraising $300,000 to help create a
better life for children and their families living with cancer.
