Ride for Country Kids

Post author By claire
Post date January 21, 2019

The ride is one of our most important fundraising events and registrations are now open for the Royal Far West Ride for Country Kids 2019!

Be one of 75 dedicated cyclists to ride from Albury to Lake Cargelligo in April 2019 and raise much-needed funds to connect country kids to the care they need.

Geography should not be a barrier to services or a cause for disadvantage, yet kids living in rural and remote areas of Australia are much more likely than kids in urban areas to have challenges with their developmental health, and even greater difficulty getting the services and support they need.

The Ride for Country Kids is like no other – a truly unique experience for anyone with a passion for cycling, an eagerness to visit amazing regional towns and a desire to support country kids and families. Being far from help doesn’t mean they are far from hope.

Albury-Lake Cargelligo, NSW, AU
