Win one of two 2014 KTM 85 SX bikes valued at $6995!
Challenge is calling on dirt bike riders to register for the 2013 KTM Ride4Kids, the biggest charity motocross event in the country which raises funds for Challenge, an organisation that supports children living with cancer and their families.
Held Sunday 20th October 2013 at the Dandenong Motorcycle Club in Wonthaggi, Ride4Kids is a full day of non-competitive riding where participants can ride in Motocross and Enduro events. All sessions are an open practice format with no actual racing so people of all ages and abilities can get involved. A pee-wee track is also available for first time riders.
Fundraising
In addition to an entry fee to ride, participants are encouraged to raise money for Challenge by asking friends and family to sponsor them or make a donation. Riders can also set up an online fundraising page at http://www.everydayhero.com.au/event/ride4kids2013.

•The overall highest fundraiser will win a 2014 KTM 85 SX valued at $6995.
•All riders who raise $300 or more will go in the draw to win a second 2014 KTM 85 SX valued at $6995!

Challenge CEO, David Rogers, said the emphasis of Ride4Kids is on having fun.
“The event is a great opportunity for riders to have a great day on a professional track while raising much-needed funds for children living with cancer. Those not riding can also enjoy some great trackside entertainment including a barbecue lunch and the chance to watch all the action of the 2013 Moto GP on the big screen, which is happening on the same day,” David said.
