All bikers invited to “Bikers for Hospice” event
Bikers are invited to a fun day and entertainment by the famous band Diamond Dogs.
ALL bikers, whether you own a Harley, a scooter, an off-road, an on-road, a big one or a small one, are invited to the “Bikers for Hospice” event to be held on October 6, from 10.30am onwards at the Panorama Flea Market situated on Klipriver Road.
“Bikers for Hospice” aims to not only create awareness of the services Stepping Stone Hospice and Care Services delivers to this community but to also mark the launch of World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, which this year coincides with the centenary celebrations of Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement.
A fun day is planned for the bikers and the R50 per bike entrance fee will include a special jacket button dedicated to the day, and entertainment by the famous band Diamond Dogs described as a brilliant four-piece band who sing popular ’80s and ’90s hits as well as light rock hits.
Our very own Brian Mitchell, quite possibly the best South African boxer of all time, will make an appearance on the day when two of his boxing items will be auctioned off. Mitchell turned pro in 1981 and captured the WBA and Lineal Junior Lightweight Title in 1986 with a 10-round KO over Alfredo Layne. He defended the title a record 12 times and never lost a title fight.
Brian will be joined by another of the South’s boxing legends, Anton Gilmore, who started boxing at Southern Suburbs Boxing Club in 1985 as a 32kg 14-year-old boy. Anton today plays a vital part in promoting amateur boxing in South Africa.
Bikers are also invited to bring along any unwanted or second-hand goods as a donation to the hospice’s charity shops.
