Pedal with Purpose Cape York 2023

Please support me in raising much-needed funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia, supporting seriously ill children and their families.

I'll be riding through the very region that many families travel from to receive support from Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia. 177 families from the Cairns & Hinterland region travel to Townsville and stay at Ronald McDonald House while their child receives critical medical care, equating to 3,033 nightly stays, in just one year.

This ride will be tough, but the challenges I will experience do not compare to the challenges that seriously ill children and their families go through every day. With your support, together we'll help make sure these challenges are just that little bit easier. Thank you for your support.

$1,120 raised can cover the costs for a Family stay at the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Palm Cove, which provides a week-long holiday to families with a seriously ill child, or those mourning the loss of a child

$4,800 raised can cover one month's worth of accommodation at the hospital-adjacent Ronald McDonald House for families to keep close to their sick child

$9,600 raised can cover two month's worth of accommodation at the hospital-adjacent Ronald McDonald House for families to keep close to their sick child

I'm fundraising for...

Last year I was approached by RMHC Nth QLD to partake in a charity bike ride.

Not knowing how impactful a ride would be I got on board. I met people who had used RMHC through no choice of their own.  

Its not until your sitting next to someone, listening to their journey and understanding how thankful they were that their family had access to such an important charity in such a challenging time.

A bed and food close to hospital when you child is sick, a base for your family to stay when you live hours from the nearest Children's Hospital. An invaluable charity that I am pleased to raise some money towards. 

Through family, friends and colleagues I was proud to have raised over 10k last year !!  

Pushing myself physically & mentally in an effort to raise funds for a good cause. If you can spare any funds, big or small please know its doing some good.

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, it can have a devastating impact on families. As well as the uncertainty and fear, there’s added stress for families who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs. 

The RMHC® North Australia Pedal with Purpose Cape York 2023 bike ride will see a team of fearless riders cycle an incredible 600km adventure; riding from Cairns to Cape York via the famous Frenchman’s and Overland Telegraph tracks. 

This event will raise vital funds that will support seriously ill children and their families throughout their healthcare journey. While the riders will be hurting physically on the ride, they will happily endure it all for a great cause – to care for seriously ill children and their families when they need it most.

Please join me in spreading the word about the RMHC® North Australia Pedal with Purpose Cape York 2023 bike ride by sharing our story with your friends, family and colleagues - every donation both large and small ensures that Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia can support more sick kids and their families.

Thank you for your generosity!
