Wing Riders SA donates almost a ton of pet food to Wet Nose

The Central Chapter of Wing Riders SA embarked on a charity run to the Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre on June 9 with about 100 people on 40 motorbikes, trikes and a few vehicles.

A total of 89 blankets, 720kg of adult dog food, 45kg of puppy food, and 74kg of cat food were donated by the members of Wing Riders SA and their sponsors.

When the riders arrived at Wet Nose, club chairperson Marius du Toit handed over a token of appreciation for the work Wet Nose does for the community.

The sponsors that donated were Ecohealth from Pretoria, KWD Feeds in Bronkhorstspruit, Noag Animal Clinic in Pretoria, Alzu Bronkhorstspruit, Pet Masters in Alberton, Nortjé Accountants in Bronkhorstspruit and Montego Pet Nutrition.

Veronica van Greunen from Wet Nose said this animal welfare organisation is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abandoned, abused, and neglected animals, offering a second chance at a loving home.

“Wet Nose operates without government or municipal funding, relying on the generosity of the animal-loving public. The support we receive directly contributes to the care and well-being of over 600 animals in the shelter,” said Van Greunen.

Wing Riders SA was born in 1983
Four decades of roaring engines, shared adventures, and unwavering camaraderie have shaped this association into the thriving community it is today.

Suzette Grobler, a member of Wing Riders SA said, “Wing Riders SA prides itself on riding the best touring motorcycles ever made.

“These bikes and trikes are amazing machines to own and ride and are absolute show-stoppers when displayed in public. The Honda Gold Wing is internationally known as ‘the bike that makes you smile’.

“Wing Riders SA stands as a testament to the power of shared passions. Members come from diverse backgrounds, professions, and walks of life, yet the rumble of engines and the thrill of the ride have brought them together in a bond that transcends all boundaries.

“Their journeys have not only taken them to distant horizons but have also woven a tapestry of friendships that have stood the test of time.

“Wing Riders SA also prides itself in being the best that bikers can be and that it sets an example to all bikers, irrespective of what they choose to ride,” said Grobler.
