I’m going the distance to change the lives of country kids!
On Thursday 15 May I’ll be setting off from Bourke to cycle over 330km to Narromine to raise vital funds to support the developmental and mental health of Australia’s country kids.
Royal Far West’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of country children.
Every Australian child deserves the right to access quality health, education and development services, but sadly country children and families face disadvantage of distance and a lack of available services. Currently, children in regional and remote Australia are waiting up to six years to see a paediatrician or being told there are no services at all.
For these kids, a positive trajectory in life can be at risk if they can't access the right care at the right time, simply because of where they live.
I want to make a difference, so I’m going the distance to close the health gap for country kids. I’m riding to help raise $750,000 for country kids who are struggling with developmental and mental health needs to get them access to the critical assessments, services and support they need to thrive.
You can help me achieve this by making a donation via this page AND by helping to spread the word by sharing my page. Every dollar of your donation – no matter how large or small - adds up to truly make a difference for country kids. Your gift will be directly support vulnerable country kids by connecting them to the vital healthcare services and support they urgently need.
THANK YOU so much for your support! It really means a lot to me!
Thank you to my Sponsors
