Your donation will provide bicycles that change lives.
In the lead up to running the 2024 Chicago Marathon, we are aiming to log 4000km each throughout our training to match the amount we are striving to fundraise. This will supply 14 bikes to developing communities, Watch this space!
We believe in the Power of Bicycles and their ability to improve the quality of lives.
Our personal fundraising efforts will help 14 people in rural developing countries. $250 AUD ($165 USD) puts a brand-new bike (just like the one pictured above) into the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life!
Thanks to everyone who has already donated. Your support & encouragement is Amazing!
