Each year we work with our charity partners to identify specific projects to support, including purchase of specific medical equipment which is critical to the health of our children.
Live for Kids is taking up the challenge to raise the profile of our charity partners, and engage children and their parents in promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.

The ride is fully supported by a crew who will drive with the riders, ensuring safety and support, and ensuring the riders recover each day ready to ride again. We ride as a single group, to ensure we minimise our footprint on the road, and use multiple support cars ahead and behind the group, to ensure maximum safety.
As part of the ride we will be undertaking various marketing activities in support of our sponsors and community groups.
Many schools and community groups have been engaged to participate and to assist in the running of the event.
