I’m going the distance to change the lives of country kids!
From Sunday 17 May, I’ll be setting off from Parkes to cycle over 380+km across regional NSW to raise vital funds for the developmental and mental health of Australia’s country kids.
Royal Far West’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of children living in rural and remote communities. Every Australian child deserves access to quality health, education, and developmental services — but for many country kids, distance and a lack of local services stand in the way. Some children are waiting up to six years to see a paediatrician, or are told there are no services available at all.
For these kids, missing out on timely care can mean missing out on their potential to thrive. That’s why I’m going the distance — to help close the health gap and go beyond for country kids.
I’m riding to help raise $500,000 to connect children with the critical assessments, therapies, and support they need to thrive.
You can help by donating via this page and sharing it with your network. Every dollar — no matter how big or small — makes a real difference.
Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me — and even more to the kids we’re riding for.
Thank you to my Sponsors

Nick, good luck! I'm sure your ankle will hold up. Pity it's not being broadcast on SBS cycling... so I can see you screaming along in the peloton. Sounds fun.

Such a great cause, well done and congratulations on taking on the ride again. All the more impressive given the ankle surgery last year. Wishing you the very best with the training and the ride, and good luck with the fundraising for Royal Far West.

Nick, It is a great cause you ride for here. Strangely I have heard about two stories in the last 3 months of how people I know have been supported by the RFW programmes. Go well. Tom

Nick this is the most fantastic initiative for regional kids. Removing one hurdle at a time for rural kids to get the healthcare they need. Hope that ankle holds up
