Following a very successful inaugural year, Endure for a Cure is back for 2015 on Friday May 8 in aid of the Children’s Cancer Institute.
Last year, almost 100 riders pushed themselves to their limits and reached over $180,000 in funds raised. This year, Endure for a Cure will return to the Sydney Motorsport Park, offering teams of 6 a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For one day only, teams have exclusive access to the track with one simple goal – endure as many laps as physically possible within 12 hours.
Not only do participants get to experience the thrills of closed-circuit riding, but they are also treated like a professional cyclist in the process, with a team garage for the duration of the ride, full race support, timing chips, training schedules and more.
There is also an option to pay extra (for the Endure for a Cure cause) opt for a deluxe garage – complete with your very own massage therapist, concierge and deluxe food.
The proceeds of this year’s ride will support the new Personalised Medicine Program, which is aimed at identifying individually tailored treatments for children with high risk cancers.
Experiencing the physical and emotional challenge of 12 hours of endurance cycling might sound like a lot, but this is pain that will be short lived in comparison to that suffered by children during their cancer journey. More than 625 children are diagnosed with childhood cancer in Australia each year, with three dying every week.
Get a team together today and cycle for kids who endure the challenge of cancer treatment on a daily basis. For more information and to register for the ride, visit https://endureforacure2015.gofundraise.com.au
