So riding 1000km from Surfers to Sydney isn’t your idea of a good time? In 2008, students and staff from Griffith University (Gold Coast) took on the challenge of riding the 1000km over 10 days, raising in excess of $30,000 which was directed to Cystic Fibrosis Australia to fund important CF research.

In 2009, we are changing things up a bit. Students and staff from Griffith's School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science are riding from Sydney to Surfers, leaving in Sydney in late November and riding home to the Gold Coast in a 10 day tour de east coast, in a continued effort to raise money for CF research.

Physiotherapy plays a major role in providing treatment for CF patients and it is hoped that this event will help to raise awareness of not only Cystic Fibrosis, but also the importance of the often overlooked role of physiotherapy in the treatment of respiratory conditions.   

Take some time and check out the website for more information about this event. We would love to see you cheering us on at any of our stops, and we implore you to donate to help our cause. We are extremely grateful for the support of our sponsors, and we hope you can help support them wherever you can, as they have helped make this idea a reality.

Yours in cycling,

‘Sydney 2 Surfers’ team
