Hi all,

Some of you know that for the past two months I have been orgainising a Ride to highlight the needs of victims families of road crashes. To me it doesn't matter if they are motorbike riders, car drives or on a push bike, if they gte hurt or killed on the road they ALL need help. 

Ride Beyond the Trauma is holding a Street Party and Ride off for victims of Road crashes in Pakeham (Melways 215 H5) on the Sunday 9th OCTOBER , ride off at 10:30 before I set off on a 5,000 klm trip to Toowoomba and back to raise awareness of road safety.

I'll be talking to over 3,000 school students along the way and have been invited to Parlarment House to meet both sides of Politics to push our message of 'Think for 6" . 

The Street Party and actual Ride is being filmed and made into a doco so the more riders (sorry its only in Victoria) we can get there the better it will be.

All money riased goes to trauma services ACROSS Australia so if you want to show your support  please visit www.facebook.com/ridebeyondthetrauma.

Any interstate riders are welcome to hold their own ride on the 9th October that leaves at 10:30 let me know so I can alert the media.

Hope you guys will get behind me on this because some day, someone we know may need the help.

Cheers

Poddy

 

Fuck me Poddy

even with my glasses on I couldnt read it

WTF, how the Fuck did I do that 

There you go, if you play with your dick while typing you WILL fuck up

Take too,

As the poster shows, most know I do Road Rescue and basically I've cut too many dead people out of cars this year so a group of us are riding 5,000 round trip talking to schools about road safety and meeting victims of road crashers . Our aim is to raise money for trauma services for the FAMILIES of victims who IMHO are the 'Silent Victims' left to pick up the peices.

The event is going to be filmed and made into a DOCO so the more bikes I get at the ride off the better statement we can make.

Sorry about the fine print, I'll see if I can fix it.

 

Cheers

Poddy

Hope to see you in Pakenham in october sounds like avery good cause well done Poddy.

Well done Poddy...FYI I'm also on the job. Hopefully preventing the trauma.
Also a road rescue firefighter, we run a education program (TEENS) in Caulfield each year targeting approx 1200 year 10 kids. (just a s they get their 'L's)
We are constantly up against it. Not just from a monetry perspective but for the powers to be.
We are booked up every year, have the same schools knocking down the door to get in the program as they see its worth as its different to the others.
Its the longest running firefighter initiated program in the MFB in its 10th year. Only now are other states starting to follow our lead and getting the acolades for forward thinking.
Whats my bitch?.....NO Government support, NO TAC endorsment. Why?
Cause we DONT tick all the boxes, cause each day is finished with a real as you can get crash senario with actors and make up artist, real rescue operators.
Apperently we are tooo confrontational....this may be the last year is seems.
Keep up the fight.

Damn right I'm pissed.

Good luck with it all, Poddy.....Cheers.......JOEY.......

good luck poddy ,Ill be there pending work .

I think a big part of the problem is how easily Vic roads give out a car license to any one .

Only 4 weeks to go on counting

going to miss this as wifes shift has been changed from afternoon to morning pissed of as it was for such a good cause good luck Poddy hope you all have a good safe ride

Will try to make it down poddy. Good work mate.

Hey guys,
just spoke to a guy at a petrol station who has 50+ of his mates coming from Ringwood area down for the Thunder Run, so could end up with couple of hundred bikes on the run.

Going to be a good day

See ya all there
