The success of the event has only been possible thanks to
the efforts of the riding team, volunteers, donors, and sponsors BankVic,
VicSuper, Davies Collison Cave and Zouki. A very special thanks also goes to
Andrew McCallum who, with wife Pat, was instrumental (as always) to the
planning and coordination of the event, and CRH's Peter Stanton and his wife
Elspeth who were in the support crew for the entire R4R event.
The R4R Team gave up countless weekends for practice rides
and, this year, the bulk of the funds were raised were by the riders themselves
through our new fundraising platform. On behalf of everyone at the Institute, we thank
the R4R Team for their outstanding fundraising and grueling cycling efforts
over the last few months. Having such a dedicated group of supporters is a
testament to the importance of MIMR-PHI's research.
We appreciate all the support we have received from MIMR-PHI
staff and students during the event. The 2015 R4R received a record number of
donations from staff which has been a very important show of support for the
riding team and for the Institute.
