Schools & Community Groups

Why do Schools Ride?

Ride for the Kids is an inclusive and inspiring way for your school community to get active, build empathy, and support children living with brain disorders.

Whether it’s riding during PE, a classroom challenge, or a whole-school team effort - schools across Australia are riding in October to create impact beyond the classroom. It’s easy to take part, and we’ll provide everything you need to get students, families and staff rolling.

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.

Earn Rewards as You Ride and Fundraise

Whether you're in it for the challenge, the cause, or the fun - we've teamed up with iconic cycling brand Pedla to bring you exclusive Ride for the Kids merchandise in recognition of your fundraising efforts.

As you hit key milestones, you'll unlock rewards to celebrate your impact - from early-bird musette bags, custom water bottles and limited-edition Pedla Adventure tees, all the way up to premium Pedla cycling jerseys, commemorative cowbells, and exclusive team caps when you recruit others to ride with you.

Every dollar you raise helps fund therapy, equipment, and joyful experiences for Brainwave kids - and every reward recognises the difference you're making.

Get your school riding for impact. Build fitness, fun and empathy - one pedal stroke at a time.

Why do Community Groups Ride?

Whether you’re part of a Rotary club, Lions group, neighbourhood association, Scouts, sports team or faith-based community, Ride for the Kids offers a meaningful way to unite around a shared cause.

You’ll strengthen bonds, promote health and wellbeing and make a real difference for children with brain disorders and their families across Australia.
