A convoy of motorbikes carried a precious cargo the length of the Mornington Peninsula on Friday.

About 30 bikers volunteered for the job of giving a thrill to children affected by cancer.

The gorgeous autumn day was as if ordered from on high and the bikes amassed at McDonald's in Mornington at lunchtime, where they met the teenagers, who had been bused from Melbourne.

With a deafening roar, the posse took off for Portsea, where the children spent the weekend at the Portsea Camp, taking part in various fun activities organised by Camp Quality, a charity group that goes by the adage "laughter is the best medicine".

The organisation provides support and recreational activities for children with cancer in the hope that, if only for a while, they can "put their illness behind them and concentrate on being a child again'
