What a Ride! 🚴♀️
Ride for Country Kids 2026 brought together a group of incredible riders for over 300km of challenge, camaraderie and plenty of memorable moments across regional NSW. From early starts to finish‑line celebrations, it was an experience that will stay with everyone involved. Together, we’ve raised more than $430,000 so far to support country kids — and the impact continues. Thank you for being part of something so special 💙

Go Beyond for Country Kids
Take part in something truly special, and help make sure distance never defines a child’s opportunity to thrive.
Why we ride
Royal Far West’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of children who live in rural and remote communities. Every Australian child deserves access to quality health, education and developmental care – but for many country kids, distance and a lack of local services stand in the way.
As a specialist child development service, we provide vital, evidence-informed care to help country kids thrive – through virtual care, in-community programs and disaster recovery initiatives.
This year, we’ll be riding to connect even more country children with the assessments, therapies and supports they need.
We ride to raise funds, to raise awareness, and to go beyond – ensuring that where a child lives never limits their access to the care they need and deserve.

Who we ride for
Riley's Story
Riley is a bright, creative seven-year-old from Dubbo.
From an early age, she experienced developmental challenges that affected her speech, movement, sensory processing and emotional regulation. Despite her mum Shellie's determination to find support, help was difficult to access locally.
Everything changed when Royal Far West's in-community team visited Dubbo. Riley was assessed by a multidisciplinary team who took the time to understand her in the context of her family, culture and community.
Today, Riley and her family have the support they need to help her thrive.
By taking part in the Ride for Country Kids, you'll help make stories like Riley's possible for more country children and families.
