Read the full storyTour de Cure Australia has recently completed another impressive journey to continue raising much needed funds in support of cancer research – reaffirming the organisation's mission statement, “we won’t stop until cancer does” once again.
Over the course of a week extending from the 30th of May to the 6th of June, Tour de Cure’s Signature Tour cycled from Airle Beach to Port Douglas, covering 1184kms and raising valuable funds for cancer research, support programs and prevention initiatives.
“We’re more than a group of cyclists – we’re riding to make a difference as every kilometre supports cancer services in the very communities we ride through as well as funds scientific cancer research breakthroughs,” shared the organisation online.
After making many meaningful contributions along the eastern coastline, the inspirational group of dedicated cyclists changed the lives of many within the Hinchinbrook Shire on the 2nd of June after delivering an overwhelming grant to Ingham Health Service totalling $10,000.
Met with smiles, tears and powerful stories, the group were empowered to continue their mission, and on day five, the group rode through the heart of Far North Queensland after enjoying a beautiful breakfast with plenty of locals in the heart of Ingham.
Riding on, Tour de Cure’s Signature Tour presented Blue Care Tully Community Centre with a $10,000 grant towards its palliative care services and delivered life-changing messages of prevention to students at St Peter’s, Tully State School, Macknade, Cardwell and El Arish Primary Schools.
As the Tour de Cure’s Signature Tour drew to an emotional close last Friday, many were touched by the dedication of all the cyclists involved, praising them for the monumental journey they had completed.
“We don’t just ride for those who survive, we ride for those we’ve lost, and now we ride for those we want to help, and we ride to find a cure,” shared one of the Tour de Cure’s Signature Tour’s cyclists.
