About us
Hi, I’m Julie Swift, and I’m proud to have been an Event Coordinator since the inaugural ride. We are an enthusiastic team that brings the amazing Pink Ribbon Ride to Tāmaki Makaurau, raising vital funds and awareness. Our biggest ride was in 2010, when we had 540 bikes and raised $18,350. The inaugural ride started in 2004 at Selwyn College, Kohimarama, and ended at Western Springs Stadium, featuring 130 bikes and raising $1,300. As the Ride has evolved over the years, we now start at Auckland Netball Centre, St Johns, and end at Eden Park.
The Ride’s success is due to the support we receive from so many individuals, including the Auckland Council Events team and NZ Police, who provide a team to manage the logistics along the Ride’s route, alongside the IAM Route Marshals. We also appreciate the contributions of the volunteers, including the Busting with Life ladies, who assist at the venues with badge and raffle sales, act as pedestrian crossing marshals, and help with the setup and pack-down of both locations. We must acknowledge the fantastic support from the Bike Clubs and Bike Shops that sponsor us with a great collection of prizes. Additionally, thanks to the Lions Club New Lynn team for the sausage sizzle, Zion Motorhomes, the Westpac ladies, Chrissie with her coffee van, Nationwide EFTPOS, Jo from First Scene who dresses the Farmers Truck used as our stage, and Edwards Sound for the PA system.
A final mention, but certainly not the last, is the fantastic BCFNZ Ambassadors who join us at Eden Park and are the most amazing MCs; we thank them all so much for their support.
We invite motorcyclists, scooter and trike riders to join us to support this much-needed cause. To date, the Auckland ride has raised over $152,000 and has provided a visual spectacle as the Ride travels an Auckland Council and Police-approved route with Auckland Transport coordinating a green light wave (no red lights on the route for the participants).
Help raise vital funds for breast cancer education, research and patient support.
Every year, more than 3,700 Kiwis are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 650 will die.
By supporting the Pink Ribbon Ride, you’ll be helping fund ground-breaking projects by some of our country’s top researchers; educating New Zealanders about breast health, the importance of regular screening and the signs and symptoms of breast cancer; and providing a free support service for breast cancer patients and their families.
Donate today to help make zero deaths from breast cancer a reality.
