12 Hour Cycle Relay event

Tuesday 10th Jun
How do you define success? Reflecting on the weekend after our collaborative fundraiser with Roses Riders-riding for Luke. The 12 Hour Cycle Relay was a successful event across many aspects. Yes we raised important funds for our teams which was the aim of the event, however, the day became more than just a fundraiser. It became a community of bike riders of all abilities coming Β together, celebrated being on a bike, supporting each others journey, sharing stories, lots of laughter, fun, families, food. The event brought the cardiac challenge spirit that was seen across all 12 hours of the event. Participants showing true courage and camaraderie as they challenged them selves and their team mates to step out side their comfort zones and find the magic of achieving big personal goals. This I believe is why I can say the event was successful.Β 
Our community defined the true Cardiac Challenge spirit and success.Β 

We're fundraising for...

We’re taking on the challenge of riding to Cooktown as a team for one simple reason: to make a real difference in the lives of people in our community.

Heart disease affects so many of usβ€”whether it’s a family member, a friend, or even ourselves. Together, we’re riding to raise funds for vital cardiac services that save lives right here in Far North Queensland.

Every kilometre we pedal is a step closer to better care, more advanced equipment, and improved outcomes for those who need it most. This isn’t just a bike ride; it’s our way of giving back to the community, inspiring others, and proving that teamwork can achieve incredible things.

We’d love for you to join us on this journey β€” whether it’s by cheering us on, spreading the word, or making a donation. Every little bit helps bring us closer to ensuring that everyone in our region has access to world-class cardiac care.

Thank you for being part of this incredible effort with us!

Thank you to our Sponsors

Well done Chook! For words of encouragement, I believe your all time favourite artists, Technotronic, said it best in their 1989 hit song Pump Up The Jam, when they said, “Pump up the jam Pump it up While your feet are stomping And the jam is pumping Look ahead, the crowd is jumpin' … Pump up the jam Pump up the jam Pump up the jam Pump it up Pump it Pump it Pump it” Great cycling beat, and one for the playlist if it isn’t on there already! Well done, very proud of you!
