DORIS RETURNS

Doris has been away, that lovely man Peter took her on a bike trip from the 7th of March to the 15th of March. Accompanied by whole bunch of people for a whole long time. Doris joined this group of bike riders who were riding for an exceptionally worth while cause Corners for Kids. In their own words not only was this event about raising funds for Inspire's Reach Out service, the riders spent the week spreading the word to young people and their families that there is help, information and support available when they, or someone they know, is going through a difficult time.

Below are photos from the event in which Doris was a keen and active particpant.


Doris prepares for take off.

Bicheno which is a bike friendly town unexpectedly hosted a event for the travellers- an amazing cake was made in their honour. Mayor, Frenchman Bertrand Cadartown a delightful character was the host for the evening Doris was there to help celebrate at this event.
