Wheels in motion for community fundraiser 

Published on 21 June, 2012 

CQUniversity's Associate Professor Peter Reaburn was on hand at cycling store Giant Rockhampton today to present a cheque for $1200 to the Rockhampton Sporting Wheelies Association.

The money was raised from last year's Bike4Life event, of which CQUniversity was a major sponsor.

Giant is the key sponsor of the 2012 event, and Reaburn said that support from organisations like CQUniversity and Giant provided major community benefits.

"By supporting events like these, we're encouraging people to get out and about and to have fun, while at the same time helping out community groups in sustaining their activities" he said.

Bike4Life will be held on July 29 and will include circuits in Yeppoon and Cawarral as well as around Rockhampton and at CQUniversity, catering for all abilities.
