Brissie to the Bay

As the sun rises on Sunday 16 June, thousands of riders will be slipping into their lycra and costumes of all sorts to take part in the 28th MS Brissie to the Bay bike ride to fight multiple sclerosis (MS).

You can join the challenge by riding one of our four distances. There is the family friendly 10km around the Brisbane Riverside, the scenic 25km ride to Balmoral, the classic 50km to Wynnum, and the 100km ride to Wellington Point and Cleveland. 

The MS Brissie to the Bay bike ride is more than just a fun day out on the bike, it is an opportunity to join the MS community with fellow riders, friends and family, together aiming to raise a sensational $1.3 million to support people living with MS.  MS is the most common incurable chronic neurological condition affecting young adults in Australia, with over 3,700 living with MS in Queensland alone. 

For the past 60 years, MS Queensland has provided care and support to those living with MS, and more recently, other chronic, progressive neurological diseases.

Funds raised through the MS Brissie to the Bay bike ride helps ensure no one faces MS alone.

So jump on your wheels of choice; bicycle, tricycle, tandem bike and join us in the Ride to Fight MS.

B2SC Change the Cycle of Homelessness

The B2SC is working today to change tomorrow – to change the cycle of homelessness

According to the ABS Census of Population and Housing, there are over 19,000 people who have been left homeless in Queensland. In the words of the Commonwealth Government’s The Road Homewhite paper, “To reduce homelessness, particularly the numbers of people sleeping rough, it is critical that services work to end homelessness for their clients permanently.”

To this end, we are a nonprofit organization focused on bringing awareness to the crisis of homelessness and aiming to Change the Cycle.  We have created a great cycle ride called the Brisbane to Sunshine Coast (or B2SC), to raise much needed funds for The Shack Community Centre in the hinterland suburb of Nambour.

Our goal is to raise funds to build six new homes for the homeless in the region.
