The Heart Foundation

For the Heart Foundation, the objectives of Bicycle Queensland and the Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge are perfectly aligned with our own, and we are honoured to have been selected once more as a beneficiary partner.

Heart disease is the biggest killer of Australians, though many of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease are largely preventable. Physical inactivity is one of these and active living is a key advocacy goal for us and something we encourage all Australians to embrace.

As a passionate advocate of active living, Bicycle Queensland does a wonderful job of encouraging Queenslanders to live healthier, more active lives and assisting us to do the same. We are grateful for the support of Bicycle Queensland and we look forward to participating in this year’s event.

Diabetes Australia - Queensland (DAQ)

Diabetes Australia – Queensland is thrilled to be selected as a beneficiary partner with Bicycle Queensland for the 2011 Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge.

As the peak body for people with diabetes, we rely on the generosity of our caring community, members and supporters to help fund diabetes education and awareness activities which aim to turn diabetes around in Queensland.

Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable by maintaining healthy lifestyles – eating well, being physically active and achieving a healthy weight.  That’s why our Green Team of cyclists is keen to promote cycling as a way of reducing type 2 diabetes risk.
