Iron Thunder M.C

A THUNDEROUS CONGRATULATIONS - TO ALL!!

The 2017 Iron Thunder MC Poker Run, was a great success. This year we managed to blitz last year’s total by raising a staggering $11,020.00 – this means we will be able to present cheques for $5,510.00 to each of the Charities we support - The Middlemore Foundation’s Auckland Spinal Unit and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Trust.  Add to this, the amount that the Auckland Wheelstarz collected on the day through the generous nature of our run supporters, which was a further $1,000.00. This made for a $12,020.00 day!

We cannot express our gratitude to all of those that attended, registered and freely gave their hard-earned money so that the lives of others could be made that little bit better. You came on your bikes, in your cars and with friends by the hundreds to make this day the best yet.  To those that won prizes, please share the information about the sponsors to all your friends and ask them to support those that support us all.

Thank you, Earl, from Popeye Pics, who has supported every run and event we have had, through donating his time and energy in taking some amazing images and donating photoshoot vouchers.

Thank you Eoin for covering our run also, was great to have you & look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures you took.

The following Establishments deserve a mention for their support in allowing us rabble to patron their places and trusting us all not to get all rowdy… and of course we are always very well behaved:

1981 Bar in Manukau.

The Red Fox Tavern – Maramarua.
