Chris Corlett painted this picture while fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 1999.

He died in the hope that other leukaemia sufferers have a better opportunity to live a healthy life. Read his and other inspirational stories here

His Mum, Tina, dedicated her life to making his wish come true by developing the Sunflower Fund. The funds goal is to achieve a database of 100,000 donors.

One of the Sunflower Funds’ donor drives is the Bikers for Bandana Motorcycle Ride this Sunday morning 28 October.

Please support Chris’ dream by getting there and donating as many entries as you can afford. You could even go the whole nine yards by registering as a donor and paying for your tissue typing.

See you at Ysterplaat on Sunday.

Let it be.

I would definitely be there but I'll be away.

If you can dream it you can do it!

An awesome weather to go and support an awesome cause.

I'll be putting up the club gazebo as a meeting point for when you arrive. 

Here's some info compliments of the WD

Gates to the public open @ 08h00, then the normal "mingle, chat, coffee, registration, photos, etc, etc,..." is until 10h00, when we all mount our trusty steeds & head off out for the ride & the plan is that we all arrive back @ the base by around 11h15 - 11h30.

There are gonna be various "bike brands" on display, along with the "SAAF Museum" hanger which everyone will be more than welcome to check out, take photos & mingle. As I mentioned before,... the Shackelton is gonn be "Ground Run" for everyone & this will be accompanied by "Rolls Royce SA" having some of there finest assets there alongside the Shackelton.

There will be food available for sale & "Some Cold Ones" too Wink

BTW....... there is going to be a little something planned as well for some of the guys to "take their Scoots for a Spin" Ricky,...... which by the way is something that will not happen in a hurry anytime soon,..... but that can only be determined & confirmed on the day, due to obvious "Air Traffic Issue" Roll Eyes Roll Eyes I may not say what it if, or how fast you can go down there,..... but I'm sure you can read between the lines Wink Wink Grin

Let it be.
