Members of the Norton Owners club of Victoria (NOC Vic) took off on Sunday 18 August to raise money for the Hills-based charity Foothills Community Care.
On their ride for charity through the Dandenongs, the Norton Owners Club raised $875, all of which was donated to Foothills Community Care to help provide weekly meals and hospitality to locals in need.
Committee member of the Norton Owners Club of Victoria and 45-year Ferntree Gully resident Kev said, “although there had been some rain overnight the ride started in sunshine and the roads weren’t too wet.”
“The ride took us through the Basin, Sassafras, Monbulk, Mt Evelyn, Wandin, Lilydale, Montrose and Kalorama. All up we covered 65km,” Kev said.
“The end point for the ride was in Olinda, where a pub meal was on offer.”
At the end of the charity ride the NOC Vic presented Foothills Community Care chief executive officer Steve Barrington with the donations that had been raised from the ride.
