CQUniversity's Associate Professor Peter Reaburn recently handed over a cheque for $750 to the Sporting Wheelies association on behalf of the Bike 4 Life organising committee.

The inaugural Bike for Life event took place in August and was in support of the Amy Gillet Foundation and the Capricornia Sporting Wheelies, an organisation that is committed to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities.
