The Making a Difference Ride (M.A.D.) Inc. is an incorporated charitable organisation formed by members of the Perth Street Bike community.
In 2005 we had the idea of being able to raise funds, gain support and improve awareness of the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital and also Reds Spinal Research at the University of Western Australia. Within just 6 weeks and with very limited time, resources and sponsors we raised $12,000!!
In 2006, The Making A Difference Ride Inc. became a registered charity. For our second annual charity ride we held an even bigger event on the Scarborough foreshore and raised over $26,000 with all proceeds going to spinal injury research and rehabilitation.
Last year our Sponsors were integral in helping us obtain merchandise which we used to help raise funds with raffles and prize give-aways. In 2008 we aim to increase the profile of The Making A Difference Ride and of our valued Partners, Sponsors and Supporters by holding an even larger scale event - but we can not do this without your support...
We are therefore currently seeking expressions of interest from Major Sponsors and those wishing to be Event Partners to help us raise funds for The Making A Difference Ride, 2008.
Your much needed support in this worthwhile cause will help fund spinal cord injury research and rehabilitation. Statistics show that the trauma of spinal cord injury caused by unexpected accidents is something that can affect all members of our society - whethe they be road users, sporting participants or the elderly...
Thankyou for taking the time to view our web site and we hope to have you onboard with the M.A.D. Ride 2008!
Are you willing to help us make a difference?
