RAC Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma The Asthma Foundation WA would like to thank everyone involved in the 2013 RAC Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma, which yet again has exceeded the results from the previous year. This year’s event had the largest number of participants and the most money raised in the event’s history and we are so grateful to everyone who continues to help this event grow year after year. On Sunday 24 March, a record 10,158 riders converged on the southbound lanes of the Mitchell and Kwinana Freeways and began their trek into Perth City. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of the West Australian community, this year’s fundraising total reached over $218,000, a massive increase on last year’s total of $140,000 and we are grateful to the people of Perth for their generosity. There was a team riding in the event this year with a special purpose. The Staniforth family lost their 16 year old daughter Fiona at the beginning of 2013 after she suffered an asthma attack. Through family friend Steve Davey, the Coglioni Cycling Club pulled together to support the family and registered a team of over 80 people to ride in the event in honour of Fiona’s memory. With the help of the generous people of Perth, the Coglioni Cycling Club raised $31,170 - a magnificent effort. The largest amount raised by a corporate team was $31,879, which was raised by CBI Kentz Joint Venture. This is the second year running that the CBI Kentz team has been the largest corporate fundraiser and we are extremely grateful for their on-going support! There was some incentive for the staff however, with Project Director Mike Trzeciak promising to sky dive if the team raised $25,000. We hope Mike enjoyed his sky diving experience! We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of our top two individual fundraisers - Stephen Billins, who raised $3,450 and Nicholas O’Leary, who raised $3,225. Thank you very much for your efforts! All funds raised through the RAC Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma help us provide education and training programs to the WA community and a large portion of this year’s funds will contribute to funding our respiratory research program. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s event and we look forward to seeing you back next year to help us again raise the bar! We sincerely thank RAC, our event sponsor for your support. To Channel 9, The Sunday Times, PerthNow and 96FM - thank you for the media coverage and support you provided. To Main Roads, the Public Transport Authority and the Department of Transport, we thank you for your on-going support in making this event possible. Thank you to all the partners involved in making 2013 such a success. Finally, we would like to say a special thank you to Corporate Sports Australia for coordinating yet another successful event. Planning is already under way for the 2014 event and we look forward to another wonderful day on the freeway! Event Manager 28
