<div>What started as a school project to give back to the community has become a 5 km charity ride to help kids in need this Christmas
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are so many families doing it tough this year, and every child deserves a gift to open on Christmas morning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ronnie is riding to help make that happen by raising funds and collecting new toys to assist with Dandelion Support Network Christmas Gift Drive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ronnie's goal is to ride 5km - or 6 laps around Sutherland Bike Track on Sunday 30th November from 4pm.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He would love your support in the form of monetary donations, Christmas gifts and a cheer squad while he completes his ride (or all three!).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>MONETARY DONATIONS
</div>
<div>We're asking for $5 for 5km!

<div>❓ Frequently Asked Questions
</div>
<div>Do gifts need to be new?
</div>
<div>Yes, all gifts must be new — this ensures every child feels special and receives something just for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Should I wrap the gift before dropping it off?
</div>
<div>Please do not wrap gifts. This allows our social workers to select something perfectly suited to each child’s age and interests.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What age groups need the most gifts?
</div>
<div>We’re often short on gifts for babies and for kids aged 6 through teens, so donations for these age ranges are especially appreciated.
