I’m going the distance to change the lives of country kids!

Adrian here.  This will be my third year of riding for the awesome organisation, Royal Far West, where their aim is to change country children's life's!  The ride this year takes in more country between Parkes and Forbes, where we aim to raise over $500 000.  

From 17–19th May 2026, I’ll be cycling over 380+km across regional NSW — starting in Parkes and riding through Manildra, Molong, Trundle, Eugowra and finishing in Forbes — all to raise vital funds for Royal Far West. 

 Did you know that last year, over 50 families from the Far South Coast visited the Royal Far West in Manly to receive life changing support?  The whole family uplifted to Manly, staying right across from the iconic Manly beach for 5 days,  while their child receives world-best support in getting to the bottom of what they need?

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.  
 
In May 2026, 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. 

Any donation is gratefully accepted, and will go to support those country kids who slip between the cracks. You can help by making a donation via my fundraising page and sharing it with your network. Every dollar makes a real difference.

My Updates

We had a target to raise $4000

Friday 15th May
When I signed up, I had a target to raise of $4000.  To me, I thought we would have to tip in $1500 to get to the total.  The stupid war. The cost of living crisis. Rate rises.  It all happened. Then the community took over.

We hit $4000. Raised the target to $4250. Smashed! Up to $4500. Gone! The same thing happened at $4750, and $5000, and again at $5250, $5500, and finally at $6000.

That total has also gone!!

The community we live in is the best! 
❤️❤️❤️🦍🦍🦍🚴🏾🚴🏾🚴🏾

WE are now in March....

Friday 13th Mar
Well pedals have been turning, the kms getting done and the money coming in.

To all of those people who have donated, a huge thank you!  To Kathy, Jane, Kristy, Michael, Luke, Joseph and Gary and Ruth, your donations are remarkable!  It is always a heartfelt moment when you see people donate to such a great cause.

To celebrate crossing the $1000 raised, I have turned myself into a Ken doll :)

Another year in for the Country Kids

Monday 2nd Feb
It's hard to believe that I am now undertaking my third "Ride For Country Kids" event this year.

From the first one being in my backyard in the Bega Valley, you get a deeper appreciation of the value and the determination of the charity Royal Far West.  Every country kid matters, and when you are on the bike, you see it.  

From the schoolyard being treated like rockstars at Cobargo, to the hushed tones in Bega where the bikes rolled into the hall.  To the noise at Dubbo! 

To know that over 50 Bega Valley families last year went to stay in Manly to get assessed at the School  while the families want for nothing, just blows me away.

This is why I will continue to ride for the Royal Far West every year until I am not capable.  After that, I will be part of the crew that support the riders.

Thank you to my Sponsors
