Prostate Cymru was the nominated charity for Touratech’s Travel Event which took place from Friday 5th May to Sunday 7th May. The popular event, run by motorcycle accessories brand Touratech, took place at the company’s base in Ystradgynlais, Swansea and the nearby Walter’s Arena in Glynneath.
The Travel Event was established in 2008 and has grown in popularity year on year. It is the ultimate gathering for all motorcycle enthusiasts with thousands of bikers attending from around the world! The bikers enjoyed a varied programme of ride outs, processions, test rides and riding activities led by industry professionals.
Prostate Cymru’s awareness team was amongst the exhibitors which included industry manufacturers such as BMW, Ducati, Triumph and Yamaha and smaller independent companies at the Ystradgynlais site. In addition to the team talking to bikers and traders about prostate issues on the charity’s stand, Prostate Cymru’s Head of Awareness Dai John provided two awareness presentations as part of the event’s speaker programme. Funds were raised for the charity through collections and a special raffle to win a Touratech Aventuro EnduroX helmet.
