Mary joined with over 300 members of the Motorcycle Riders Association of the ACT, again riding pillion at the front of the pack with President Peter Major in the Association's annual Blanket Run.

The cyclists rode under police escort from Old Parliament House to Woden and on to Garema Place where the bikers passed around the buckets and contributed almost $1600 to the work of Smith Family as well as donating a mountain of blankets, warm clothing and food for St John's Care.

The MRA has been conducting the Blanket Run for over 20 years raising much needed funds and providing material assistance for those in the community who are in need.

The MRA will also hold their annual Christmas Toy Run in December again raising much needed cash and collecting toys.
