Why we ride
In May, we'll be joining the Challenge in the Tropics supporting a dedicated group of cyclists committed to making an impact on cancer research. Challenge in the Tropics is a 680km bike ride through Far North Queensland over 5 days.
Why are we supporting this challenge?
Because, like the riders, we're committed to making a real impact for cancer research at Mater.
As part of our challenge we are collectively aiming to raise over $15000 to support the work of Mater Research—Mater’s world-class research institute that’s investing in some game-changing work into the causes, treatment and prevention of cancer.
And this is where we need your help.
Together, we can help to give more families more time together; to make more memories.
Will you support our fundraising by making a donation to our fundraising page today?
Thank you to our Sponsors
