HMAS
Cerberus stirred when a 50 motorcycle cavalcade rumbled through its front gates
last month.
CanTeen, the Australian Organisation for Young People Living
with cancer, is the national support organisation for young people, aged 12-24.
Every
year, the Victorian Masonic Motorcyle Association organises annual motorcycle
rides and activities for their charity, CanTeen.
“We donate our time
and provide a positive experience with a motorcycle ride and bandanas to kids
with cancer,” President of the Victorian Masonic Motorcycle Association,
Brian Sanders said.
“This year, we decided to approach the Navy to help
us out with a unique annual motorcycle event – and we were gob-smacked with
what they provided.”
HMAS Cerberus hosted a barbecue lunch for over
100 members and followed it up with work boat rides in the bay, displays from
the museum as well as the steam truck.
If the motorcycle ride wasn’t enough,
the members were in for another surprise with Blackhawk helicopters dropping in
for a visit.
