More than 20 cyclists will be hitting the road soon to take part in the very last Ride 4 Relay fundraiser for South Burnett Relay For Life.<\/p>\n

This is the 10th year the event has been held.<\/p>\n

Since it began, the annual Ride 4 Relay – and associated Cattle For A Cure auction – have raised an amazing $280,638 for Cancer Council Queensland.<\/p>\n

The event was started in 2017 by Jason Wyeth, from the South Burnett Mountain Bike Club, as a way to support the South Burnett’s Relay For Life’s efforts.<\/p>\n

Since then it has been one of the strongest of the fundraising teams.<\/p>\n

Jason told southburnett.com.au he thought the 10th event this year was a good opportunity to finish on a high note.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“All good things must come to an end,” he said. “We’ve had the same volunteers from the start and I thought we should give them a break.”<\/p>\n

But because it is the last event, Jason is very keen to break the fundraising record of $51,204 raised last year.<\/p>\n

This year the riders will be rolling away from the Kingaroy & District Vintage Machinery Club’s grounds, near Kingaroy Airport, early on August 25 with five days and 402km of cycling ahead of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They will be completing loop rides each day, returning to the Machinery Club at night to camp.<\/p>\n

The riders will explore areas around Kumbia, Nanango, Wondai and north and west of Kingaroy, covering both gravel and bitumen roads and sections of the South Burnett Rail Trail.<\/p>\n

The Ride 4 Relay team’s fundraising efforts have also been boosted during the past few years by the auction of donated cattle.<\/p>\n

This year a record nine head have been donated for the Cattle For A Cure auction which will be held at the Murgon Saleyards in September.<\/p>\n
