Eastern 80 hands over fundraising efforts



Eastern 80 founder Norm Orr has handed over the cheque from this year’s event to the Good Friday Appeal.

The 2023 Eastern 80 raised $7195 for the Royal Children’s Hospital, taking the event’s eight-year total to almost $80,000 since its start.

The Eastern 80 is an annual charity bike ride held on the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail founded by Mr Orr as a way to drum up funds from the Upper Yarra community for the appeal.
