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

Andy's Story

Andy is a bright, resilient seven-year-old from Far West NSW who loves sports and learning but sadly faced significant developmental challenges.  

His struggles with anxiety, inattention, hyperactivity, emotional outbursts and sensory issues made his everyday life more difficult. 

While Andy was fortunate to receive an initial diagnosis locally, the lack of follow up support services meant he had no access to ongoing occupational therapy and speech pathology, putting his progress and future at risk. 

Thankfully, because of generous donors, Andy’s story took a turn for the better. His mother, Joan, reached out to Royal Far West, and in April 2024 Andy underwent a comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment at our Centre for Country Kids in Manly.
