Donations made locally by Black Dog Ride

Last Sunday morning at the Young Railway Station the Young Black Dog Ride team presented local community groups and organisations with funds raised.

The gathering of 25 bikers also presented a certificate to a very special family for the way they stepped up and helped every time the group had events or rides as either corner marshals or volunteering where ever they can.

Glen Sanderson, Rachel Sanderson, Zac Sanderson and Bethany Robertson were all presented with certificates of appreciation and acknowledgement for their hard work and dedication to helping the Black Dog Ride cause.

"You guys are absolutely amazing," Robert 'Tex' Quigg said.

"Thank you again."

Certificates were also presented to Dale Morton and Tammy Kernaghan for their work with Shave a Vet.

"It was an amazing effort," Tex said.

"We can't thank you guys enough."

Black Dog Ride presented $6,000 to Young Crisis Accommodation Centre and Hilltops Community Hub along with a donation from FDC Building of $1,666 each.

"That was donated after I did a talk about the Young Black Dog Ride in Temora for the FDC Ride 2 Give," Tex said.

"Bike riders rode from Dubbo to Leeton and I was invited as a guest speaker.

"They donated $5,000 that was split evenly between three charities, also $100 cash raised in raffles in Cootamundra at Might Maddy Scavenger Easter Hunt for Brain Cancer by Young Black Dog Ride."

Tex is very grateful to the community for all of their support and to be able to pass on these donations to the local organisations.

"I am so bloody proud at the moment," Tex said.

He also wanted to thank one candidate in the upcoming federal election.

"A special thanks to Jenny Rolfe for Riverina, for coming out and spending some time with us chatting over coffee," he said.

"Also just want to thank each and every one, without you guys and our great sponsors and amazing community we couldn't do what we do."
