25.01.2022 Geoffrey Battle, Pastor for the Uniting Church, Forster NSW. I Ride for the Chopper to keep it 'alive and well' for those that need it. It provides life saving support for communities and farm workers in such remote locations. As a local church Pastor, unfortunately I see the effect that farm incidents have on families, friends and the farming community as a whole.... Farmers need to be so aware every day of the risks of farming and when they might be putting themselves in dangerous situations. #WhyWeRide

19.01.2022 Mitch Deal, mixed crop farmer from Breeza, NSW. "I Ride for the Chopper as we need it. As a farmer we wish we didn't need it. More farmers are trying to improve the way they run their farms to be safer for themselves and their workers. Staying alive and well is a really important message for farmers as sharing stories and safety ideas is a great way to learn about practical solutions to our safety challenges." ... #WhyWeRide

15.01.2022 Julie Eastham, beef and mixed crop farmer from Quirindi, NSW: "I Ride for the Chopper to support the 'no one ever pays' philosophy. Living rurally, knowing the chopper is close by gives comfort to farmers and their families working long hours in isolation. For me, it is essential that fundraising continues to be front of mind for those able to assist and what an inspirational bunch of humans the ride for the chopper family is."... #WhyWeRide
