The Lesmurdie resident will embark on a 700km journey on September 6 with a group of fellow dog lovers to help raise money for the Shenton Park Dogs’ Refuge Home, a cause close to his heart.
He said it was all about putting the fun into fundraising for a great four-legged cause.
‘With the scooter’s top speed roughly 65km/h, possibly more downhill with a tail wind, the ride might take a while, but we’ve had a huge amount of support from the community and we have some great sponsors involved, so we’re raring to go,’ he said.
Refuge president Karen Rhodes says she was hugely grateful for Mr Wilson’s support.
