After a few speeches we were divided into groups and taken on a tour of the complex. We had the pleasure of meeting some amazing young adults and privileged to hear some personal stories and challenges faced by them and how Father Chris Riley’s program benefits the children.

Newcastle Scoot & Skate, May 2007
This was the Northern Beaches Social Riders turn to do something different. Arriving in Newcastle we picked William & his mother Dorothea up on the back of the bikes & we where off to the local ice skating rink for what was to be a fun filled day with plenty of laughs & a few bruises. A great ride there & back & overall a fantastic day.
