Tour de Cure Australia
Description
We ride to raise awareness and funds to cure cancer. We choose to ride a bike as our vehicle to cure cancer as it also promotes a healthy lifestyle, which is a key element of cancer prevention. We tangibly create a connection between communities and bring the ‘cure cancer’ message to all Australians.
We'll continue to ride and raise funds for cancer projects in the following areas:
1. Research projects to help find a cure
2. Support projects for those suffering with the journey of cancer
3. Prevention projects, focused on education and awareness of communities
