RUSSELL Nurser has been volunteering for the Glasshouse RSL Sub Branch for six months, keeping their gardens looking perfect. He is currently living on Bowen Road, and walks to the RSL to do his volunteer gardening, because he doesn’t have a car.
Glasshouse RSL Sub Branch president, Brian Machin, said he worked with Erek Smith from Beerwah Bicycles, to organise an alternate form of transport, to make getting to and from the RSL easier.
“We wanted to see if Erek from Beerwah Bicycles could do anything, it’s just the RSL’s way to do something for the community,” he said.
Russell said he was grateful to have the bike donated to him, making it easier to travel around town.
“It feels good to have this bike donated to me, I was a bit overwhelmed at first,” he said. “The walk was a little bit inconvenient sometimes but it’ll be good to have the bike now.”
Erek said the second hand bike donated by Beerwah Bicycles has had a full service and has new cables and grips.
