Sponsorship 2009

$1,455 donated to RFDS

On September 29 2009, Shire local Mike Brennan set out on a 590km bike race across the Simpson Desert, raising money for the Royal Flying Doctors Service as he went.

The race is across 9 stages, with a minimum pace required to complete each stage within the alloted time. If Mike falls under the required speed, he will be picked up by his support vehicle and only have the number of kilometres completed recorded.

Mike's preference is for sponsorship, so that the money he raises is the result of the number of kilometres that he actually completes. Mike's goal is to raise $10,000 (roughly about $20 per km). Kayaks Australia will sponsor Mike $5 per kilometre completed, so he is 25% of the way there, and it will just come down to the number of kms he completes.

Sponsorship 2008

Thank You for helping us stop bullying in our schools

Kayaks Australia sponsorship paid for 800 children to participate in this wonderful program

Kayaks Australia would like to thank everyone who purchased a new canoe, kayak, sea kayak or sit-on-top from us between July and December 2008, as it allowed us to sponsor the Dare:Ops Anti-Bullying Program.

In a world where things are generally "fixed" after the event, the guys at Dare:Ops are taking a positive and pro-active approach, to encourage our nation's youth to be the best that they can be.
