Vilma's solo Gibb River Challenge - May 2012
The Gibb Challenge is a charity mountain bike ride from Derby to El Questro in the Kimberley Wilderness region of WA.
In May, Vilma will tackle the gruelling ride of more than 740kms over five days … solo!
Vilma understands only too well the devastating affect breast cancer can have on your life. At 25 her younger sister was diagnosed but lived for 14 more years and raised three beautiful children before passing away at 39 years of age. One year later in 2009, Vilma was diagnosed.
Riding for her sister and Breast Cancer Care WA, Vilma aims to raise funds to help other families affected by breast cancer as thanks for how we were able to help hers. Go Vilma! We’re really proud of you.
To support Vilma in her challenge you can donate here. Go Vilma! We are all really proud of you.

Soapbox PR assisted Breast Cancer Care WA with some propbono work at The 2011 Celebration of Women Long Table Lunch and were so touched by the stories they heard and people they met that they wanted to do more during the year.

Our goal is to raise around $2,000 between now and August for the beautiful team at Breast Cancer Care WA" says Lorelie.
