Shaw and Partners Investment Advisers James Gerrish and Harrison Watt teamed up with the Shaw and Partners Foundation to participate in the annual Apex Foundation Postie Bike Ride, covering more than 1,100kms through the South Australian Outback.

The purpose of the ride is to raise funds for the Apex Copper Coast Retreats, in support of Cancer Council SA.

"It was a tougher ride than we thought – cold, plenty of spills...but we’re both in one piece and better for the experience," James said.

We extend our sincerest congratulations to James and Harry who raised over $29,000 with a generous contribution from the Shaw and Partners Foundation.

The Shaw and Partners Foundation operates on the basis of activity based fundraising, supporting worthy charities that attract minimal, if any assistance from the government. The Shaw and Partners Foundation adopts a long term view to corporate philanthropy by broadening the horizons of those less fortunate in our community.
