Former Parramatta and NZ Warrior cult hero Mark Tookey is about to set off on a bike ride from Logan to Canberra in an endeavour to raise $250,000 towardsRoyal Children's Hospital Foundation - Cerebral Palsy Health research.
The Ride will commence on October 13 and go until October 24.
Mark currently coaches South Logan Colts team in the Queensland competition and is one of the genuine good guys of the sport.
Support from the Rugby League community - or the wider sporting fraternity - would be a tremendous boost to Tooks and his endeavours. More information about the ride is available on http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/LCC/loga...abetterday.htm

Ride for a "Better Day" is an initiative by Mark Tookey and Brett Meaclem in association with the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation - Cerebral Palsy Health. It aims to raise $250,000 toward Cerebral Palsy (CP) research.
Mark has kindly donated his high profile in the NRL community to assist in attracting celebreties and media exposure. Talks are currently being held with Channel 9, The Footy Show, local radio stations and newspapers along the coast line on the grueling 1287km ride between Logan and Canberra.

Onya, Tooks!

Tooks was one of my favs during his good years '01 & '02. Will never forget a try he set up for Toops from a kickoff where he ran 50m beating a few before passing it.

No, it would have to be an international transfer, and those get quite pricy.

The best way would be to make a donation via credit card, but I can't see any option for that on the website.

Or maybe the Warriors could get involved and take donations on behalf of Kiwis before shipping it over to Oz in one lump sum?

Mark had a game for the local Club as a 'guest' in a Pie in the Sky Gala weekend. He played at about 140kgs and was an absolute hit.

Odd that it hasn't pointed out why he's doing it for the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation - Cerebral Palsy Health research. He has a daughter who suffers from Cerebral Palsy.
