Some worthy info on how you can make a difference to cancer survivors . . the Dinosaur Designs gang did it . . .
The Tour de Cure is a journey like no other - a cycling fundraiser that involves a group of everyday people raising money for vital Australian charities.
From 2007 to 2010, the Tour de Cure is targeting cancer and for the last two years the event has supported National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), and Camp Quality.
From this year up until 2010 the Tour de Cure will also be supporting Leukaemia
Foundation and Cancer Council.
In 2007, Tour de Cure began enlisting the help of well known fashion labels to each design a cycling jersey around the concepts of the individual charities involved, which are then awarded to the winners of each leg of the journey.
For the 2007/08 tours Dinosaur Designs designed the yellow jersey for Camp Qualit y, while Reg Mombassa at Mambo designed the blue jersey for PCFA. The NBCF pink jerseys were designed by Toni Maticevski (in 2007) and Charlie Brown (in 2008.)
2009 sees two exciting Australian designers One Teaspoon and sass & bide chosen to design the jerseys for new charities Cancer Council and Leukaemia Foundation - One Teaspoon’s orange jersey representing Leukaemia Foundation with sass & bide’s white jersey representing Cancer Council.
This years tour, which will take place from May 29th to June 7th with a route stretching the coast from Brisbane to Cairns, has so far raised over $600,000. By 2010, Tour de Cure hopes to have reached the $2million mark for the selected charities.
