Or create your own Wild Ride!

Welcome to Wild Ride!

Wild Ride is Bonorong’s new fundraising campaign where we encourage supporters to do a β€˜Wild Ride’ to raise money for wildlife in our care. The funds raised will help run Bonorong’s rescue, critical care hospital, and rehabilitation animal care services.

Ride a bicycle, a scooter, a skateboard, or roller skate, hop on a pogo stick, even wear a costume while you’re doing your Wild Ride! You create your very own Wild Ride with a team or as an individual, with your work mates, friends, or family. Anyone can take part – groups, businesses, and organisations.

How Can I Get Involved?

Want to become a Wild Rider? You can register as an individual, a team, a business or as an organisation. Simply register using theΒ button below, then start planning for your Wild Ride and raising money. You can provide updates and share your progress with your followers as you go!

And if you can’t do your own Wild Ride, there are plenty of other ways to help support animals – you can sponsor a Wild Rider, donate directly or become a Corporate Partner.

We've been so excited to watch our first Wild Rider registrations come through for 2025! πŸ˜ƒ

Are you struggling for ideas? Here's a few to get you started:
🚲Ride through national parks or nature trails, covering a set distance over a week.
🐴Organize a horseback ride across scenic countryside or trails, or kayak, canoe, or paddleboard a set distance along a river or lake.
🏍Cycle on a stationary bike for a set time or distance or organize a spin class marathon at a gym.
πŸ›΄Create a team and divide a long journey into sections, with each team member completing one leg of the ride on their chosen rides.
πŸ›ΆEach team decorates their bikes, boats, or other rides to match a wildlife theme and parades through a community route.

Once you've picked a Wild Ride, head to www.wildride.org.au and register, then start fundraising! πŸ˜ƒ
It’s time!! Wild Ride is now open for 2025 registrations! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Want to challenge yourself this year, or looking for an opportunity to get outdoors and just have some fun? Consider what your Wild Ride could be this March and be a part of the campaign to help us help wildlife!πŸ›΄πŸ›΅πŸ›Ά

Greg is here to show you how it’s done. What do you think of his Wild Ride for 2025? 🀩

Head to www.wildride.org.au to register yourself, start a team or donate to support someone else’s Wild Ride! 🚲
Do you remember "Murphy" the Brushtail Possum who we posted about last month? 😍

Look how much he has grown! 🀩

When Murphy was originally rescued, he was a "pinkie", meaning he was yet to grow any fur. His rehabilitator had no idea what colour he would turn out to be (as Brushtail Possums can vary in shades from dark chocolate brown to light blonde) and she has been surprised to see this gorgeous ashy brown coat emerge! πŸ’š

He still has a long way to go, but he's on track for a successful rehabiliation and release. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή
