The Harley-Davidson Charity Tour will be stopping off in Schladming at Wetzlarerplatz on 14 August and will ensure a great biker atmosphere. Cool bikes, the great sound of a live band and the pure lust for life. All this and much more awaits you!
The Harley-Davidson Charity-Fonds e.V. is a non-profit organisation and has been in existence in Austria since 1996. In line with the motto: ‘LOUD FOR THE LOW - STRONG FOR THE WEAK’, hundreds of Harley bikers ride the charity tour through Austria every year and collect donations for children with muscle diseases.
Muscle diseases are among the most common ‘rare diseases’ in children in Austria and are particularly tragic due to their effects. Genetic defects lead to a progressive decline in muscle tissue and thus to immobility in those affected. At the same time, the sufferers have no mental limitations whatsoever, meaning that the demands on everyday life are enormous. The complex, cost-intensive and lengthy treatments often push affected families to their financial and psychological limits.
The main task of the Austrian Harley-Davidson® Charity Fund is to help those affected and thus send a signal of solidarity. In this way, Harley riders are signalling that they care about more than just cruising around on their bikes.
