Why
This is a fundraising ride for Active Farmers, with the aim to raise funds to assist Active Farmers communities, across Australia. Our mission is to build stronger and more resilient farming communities. We aim to provide farmers with motivational, challenging and fun training sessions to help promote great physical health and mental wellbeing, and that suit all levels of fitness and experience. This ride will help raise awareness of the impact on physical and mental health.
Whether you're in it for a fun day out, or to achieve a personal goal, make every second on the route count by fundraising as part of your ride. Every little bit of fundraising counts, however, we are aiming to have each rider raise in excess of $250.
We are excited to have Kent Williams from entoure.com.au on board to facilitate the event. 100% of the money raised will go to assist over 60 existing Active Farmers communities, as well as facilitate the introduction of more throughout Australia!
It costs $7,000 per community annually to cover trainers, equipment, venue hire, workshops and education.
Here at Active Farmers we rely on the generosity of our supporters to be able to help those in need. Funds raised through events like Active Farmers Cherry 'Ride for Resilience' are crucial in enabling us to continue our work in the community.
