Tour de Brunch Rides for the Kids Fundraiser

A group of six Darwin women are getting on their bikes this October to raise money and awareness for children living with neurological conditions and their families.

The aptly named Tour de Brunch team is taking part in Ride for the Kids, a national cycling challenge raising vital funds for Brainwave Australia.

The Darwin women describe themselves as “a bunch of ladies wanting to ride, brunch and make the world a better place for kids in need”. They’re using the challenge as a fun way to get active, improve their fitness and spend time together, while supporting an important cause – with the promise of brunch afterwards!

Ride for the Kids runs throughout October and is open to all ages and abilities. You don’t need to be an elite cyclist – participants can ride wherever and whenever suits them, whether that’s around the neighbourhood, at the gym, on an indoor trainer or as part of a workplace, family or cycling group.

This year is particularly special, with Brainwave Australia celebrating 30 years of supporting children with brain conditions and their families. Funds raised help provide essential therapy, equipment, information, peer support and other assistance to families across Australia.

Every kilometre ridden and every dollar raised helps Brainwave continue its work supporting children and families facing the challenges of childhood brain conditions.
