NSW Supreme Court of Appeal allows SEFR’s Appeal against Forestry Corporation NSW
Narooma’s first ever Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) for Prostate Cancer Research and Men’s Mental Health, a Narooma Rotary initiative, was a great success on Sunday.
“The response exceeded our expectations with an amazing 73 riders, ‘dressed dapper’, and we raised $10,867,” said Rotarian DGR coordinator Françoise Cleret. “That’s awesome.”
“Some riders came from as far as Merimbula and Batemans Bay, many riding classic or vintage styled motorbikes. What’s more, they enjoyed the day so much they want to come again next year.”
Ms Cleret said the Narooma DGR is one of almost a thousand DGRs across 105 countries on 19th May. They bring people together to celebrate these bikes and the ‘gentlefolk’ who ride them, at the same time raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer and men’s mental health.
“We showed today that coming together, dressing dapper and the ride does create awareness and raise funds by having fun in style,” she said.
All funds raised by the DGR will be invested by the official charity partner Movember in both local and global prostate cancer research and men’s mental health programs.
The 21km leisurely ride went past the golf course and the Plaza, down Forsters Bay Road, Bettini Lane and Riverside Drive, over the bridge, Dalmeny Drive, Ocean Parade, Noble Parade, swung around the caravan park, Mort Ave to the Highway, and back to NATA Oval.
