It has been reported that as many as 7,000 cyclists would be taking part in the coming fundraising event with the aim of helping the researchers in conducting further research in the field of cancer. The cancer is a deadly disease, which leads to deaths of millions every year all over the world.
The cyclists would be ridding their cycles from Norwood to Adelaide Hills and the race would end at Tanunda, located in the Barossa Valley. In 2011, a similar event helps the Cancer Council to raise an amount of $400,000.
Brenda Wilson, the Chief Executive of the Cancer Council of chief executive of the Cancer Council was reported as saying, ?All of the people riding for a reason including myself have lobbied our friends and colleagues to support us in this ride and personally I think I've raised nearly $3,000 this year and there are a lot of people who have raised a lot more?.
It has been informed that the Opposition Leader and Sport Minister, Tony Abbott and Mark Arbib, respectively, would also be taking part in the event. Besides, many celebrities from the football field and other would also be taking part in the cycling event.
There are about 500 cyclists who have decided to take part in the event in the memory of their loved ones whom they lost to cancer. International visitors are also said to be taking part in the fund raising event.
Cancer has been taking its toll over the life of many for long. However, there is not any permanent cure for it. The money raised through the event would be directed towards Cancer Council and will be used towards improving the lives of cancer patients. So, this year do take part in the fund raising activities to help cancer patients relish their lives.
