Wyndham warriors ready to ride for a cause

Wyndham’s warrior cyclists are on a mission to help find a cure for cancer.

Noel Moody, Nick Petersen, Adam Jordan, Peter Wood have signed up to take part in the Ride to Conquer Cancer later this year to raise money for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Their team, Woody’s Warriors, will ride 200 kilometres from Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula on October 25 and 26.

For some in the group, which also includes Antonio Ricchetti and Chris Smith, this year is the third time they have tackled the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

Mr Petersen said team members ranged in age from their early 20s to early 50s and they hoped to raise $25,000.

“The aim is to raise as much money and awareness for all of the great work that is done at the Peter MacCallum centre,” Mr Petersen said,

The team will host a trivia night on Saturday, August 23, to kickstart their fund-raising. It will be held at Hoppers Crossing Sports Club, Hogans Road, from 7.30pm.

Tickets cost $20. Inquiries: 0419 535 961.
