A fundraising tour from Ellis Beach to Port Douglas and back will be held this weekend to raise money for more “Toyah” bumper stickers to be printed.

Motorbikes and cars are welcome to make the run leaving Ellis Beach Bar and Grill at 10am on Sunday, 27 January.

The convoy will include people walking the streets of Port Douglas with money tins collecting donations to go toward the cause.

Following the stop in Port Douglas, the convoy will then pause at the northern car park of Wangetti Beach for a minute silence to remember Ms Cordingley.

Lunch and raffles will then take place back at the Ellis Beach Bar and Grill with all money raised being used to print and distribute “Toyah” stickers. 

Family friend and event organiser, Wayne ‘Prong’ Trimble, said community members and groups are encouraged to join in.

“Social motorcycle and car clubs are welcome to join in,” he said.

“It will be a good family day and all money raised will buy the printing of more Toyah Bumper Stickers."

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has offered his support to the family Toyah Cordingley, who are still waiting for answers following the young woman’s death in October 2018.

Mr Morrison made the comments during a visit to the Far North yesterday to announce $60m in funding for a new medical centre based at James Cook University in Cairns.

He said it is part of being in public life that he comes in contact with families that live through the worst of personal tragedies. 

“We come in contact with families who have visited on them the worst of things and losing a child, well, there is nothing worse,” he said.

“I can only extend my deepest sympathies.”

He said he hopes the investigation is moving along and urged people to be patient in the face of ongoing grief.

“I am sure and I hope the state authorities investigating this are doing all in their power,” he said.

“I understand it’s frustrating to deal with grief and anxiety and it can feel like things are not moving as quickly as we would like but I hope it does move quickly.”
