Sunraysia Lifeline project ride
Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (09:59): Last weekend I had the pleasure to do something not only useful but very, very meaningful as well. I was asked to take part in the Sunraysia Lifeline project ride for Lifeline during the month that is the seventh anniversary of my best friend’s father, who used to ride a Triumph. He lost his battle with mental illness in March seven years ago. He always used to tell me that I would make a fantastic biker moll, and I finally got to fulfil that dream of his. It was not on the back of his Triumph. I was lucky enough to be hosted by Daniel Fraser, whose last name used to be Andrews but he changed it for obvious reasons. He took me on his 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Glide tourer in twisted cherry to the Patchewollock pub for lunch along with 119 other people that took part. Lifeline managed to raise $16,000 for their call centre. It costs $3500 to train a volunteer for the Lifeline call centre in Mildura. It is part of Lifeline Loddon Mallee. I always say I would much rather be useful than decorative, and Sunday was so amazing. Thank you to everyone.
