Families

Ride for the Kids is a meaningful way for families to come together and do something active, fun and full of heart. Whether you're riding around the park after school or clocking up some family rides on the weekend, every ride helps support children with brain disorders - and the families who love them.

You’ll be part of a caring national community showing up for families doing it tough. And along the way, you'll create powerful memories of your own.

Easy-Start Checklist for Families

Did You Know? Every single day, 10 families across Australia hear the words “your child has a brain injury or illness.” By riding with us this October, you’re turning those difficult diagnoses into hope – by funding programs and support that help families adapt and thrive despite enormous challenges.
