Are you up for the challenge? Entries are now open for the 2011 Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge.
More than 10,000 cyclists are expected to participate on Sunday 09.10.11. The 100km ride starts at Brisbane's South Bank, while the 60km leg will start in Logan. Why not organise a group of friends, family or workmates to ride with you?
In 2010 the event attracted over 9,000 riders and raised over $240,000. Diabetes Australia - Queensland and the Heart Foundation are the official event beneficiaries for this year's Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge. Since the event's inception in 2005 over $850,000 has been raised for charity, help us reach $1 million in 2011. You can play a part by making a donation when you enter the event or by becoming an Everyday Hero. You can join Diabetes Australia - Queensland's Green Team or sign on to be a Heart Hero for the Heart Foundation.
Every day, 60 Queenslanders learn they have type 2 diabetes - the world's fastest-growing non-infectious disease, and heart disease is the number one killer of Australians.
These are the hard facts so we encourage you, your family, friends and work colleagues to participate in Queensland's biggest bike ride to help in the fight against these diseases. Jump on your bike and start cycling toward better health!
