Charity
This ride is a fantastic tool in which to raise money for a worthwhile charity. As Peter is already involved with the Endeavour 500 Summer Challenge Relay, the Endeavour Foundation is Peter’s preferred charity to receive all monies raised through sponsorship and fundraising avenues. Monies raised will be donated through Michael Oates and his Gold Coast Team in the 2007 Endeavour 500 Summer Challenge who will support Peter in the build up to and during the ride.
