YOUNG besties Khy Slavinskis and Miller Smith biked across the Bellarine on Monday to raise more than $3,300 for brain cancer research.<\/p>\n
The Barwon Heads Primary School pupils took on the Bellarine Rail Trail from Drysdale to Queenscliff and back to Barwon Heads to support Carrie\u2019s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer foundation.<\/p>\n
Khy\u2019s mum Amy said the boys enjoyed a wonderful ride and were lucky enough to get blue skies and a bit of a tail wind to help them out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey rode for about two and a half hours with a few stops to admire the beautiful place we call home around the Bellarine,\u201d Amy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were welcomed back at the bridge by family and friends cheering them in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amy said luckily the boys did the ride with ease, only complaining of sore legs once they went to bed that night.<\/p>\n
\u201cA huge thank you to the community for getting behind them and helping them raise a massive $3,322.35,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Khy and Miller came up with \u201cBesties Bike the Bellarine for Brains\u201d as a way to give back and be thankful, after both their dads won battles with cancer. Amy said the boys knew how lucky they were that their dads\u2019 cancers had a treatment and cure, but also knew that brain cancer had no cure at this stage, and they wanted to help.<\/p>\n
