She regularly visits the cardiologist and Adam said just looking at her , you would never know she had been through such a traumatic experience in her lifetime .
RIDE4VETS EVENT RAISES $ 3,000
A simple conversation over dinner between Michael Chapman from Ray White Mooloolaba , his partner Danielle Parés from Ray White Nambour and a couple of veteran friends set the scene for what would quickly become a full day Motorcycle Rally and Community Fundraising event .
Four weeks later , the first inaugural Ride4Vets event took place on the Labour Day long weekend with over 130 riders in attendance and $ 3,000 raised for Young Veterans Sunshine Coast .
Michael is a veteran and both are passionate motorbike enthusiasts , they combined their love for motorcycles with their strong family history in the military into an event that could be shared with all in the community .
With over 30,000 veterans calling the Sunshine Coast home , Michael and Danielle ’ s passion for assisting our veterans with their integration back into society has now become a stable event to be held on the Sunday of every Labour Day weekend in honour of our veterans .
The event not only brought together the military and civilian community , it also presented Michael and Danielle and Ray White to the military community as a trusted and supportive brand of our veterans in the real estate industry .
