LET'S TURN THE ROAD PURPLE
This September, we're turning the road purple with a 100km (or 70km) community ride in support of the GRACI Foundation and gynaecological cancer research in Aotearoa.
This ride is open to everyone! We welcome women and men, of all abilities, and we'll have a range of groups so you can find the speed that suits you. The idea is simple: get a great group of people together, wear purple, ride 100km and help raise awareness and funds for a cause that means a lot to us.
It's free to join in. Whether you ride with us, make a donation, or simply help spread the word, we'd love to have you behind us.
WHY WE'RE RIDING
This ride is personal to us.
One of our own, Kate, faced ovarian and uterine cancer in her 20s. Since then, she has become a passionate advocate for change, knowing firsthand the importance of better awareness, detection, treatment and research.
Today, Kate volunteers on the Board of the GRACI Foundation, helping support much-needed New Zealand research into gynaecological cancer and create better outcomes for women.
So this September, we're getting on our bikes. 100km in purple, to raise awareness, raise funds and support research that can make a difference for women across Aotearoa.
