Our own Trudy Griffiths is on track to be the rider raising the most money in this year’s Tour de OROC, with an amount in the vicinity of $20,000 being donated through her efforts.
“We haven’t finished the count yet, but we are pretty sure we’ve topped our total from the last ride,” said Ben O’Brien, Chair of the Rotary Club of Dubbo South Tour de OROC fundraising committee on Monday.
“We still have a bit of other funding coming in so we think we’ve done better than the $166,000 we raised in 2022.
“It’s all for the Macquarie Home Stay which is a very important asset for communities like Cobar.”
Trudy was one of 34 riders who participated in the event, 20 for the whole distance and others like her for part of the time.
She’s highly motivated to raise funds for, and raise awareness of, the Macquarie Home Stay service.
“It’s my second time and absolutely I would do it again,” she said.
“I think by having a rider representing your town you can really raise the awareness and the profile of the event and Cobar is a very generous community.
“I’m so, so fortunate to have that community support.”. Read the full story in this week’s edition out now!
