Cairns to Karumba Charity Ride – Kylie Hosking
I am embarking on the Cairns to Karumba ride (780kms over 7 days) to help raise funds so kids living in rural and remote communities in Far North Qld receive access to better education and other vital services. Having received part of my childhood education in Karumba 40 years ago, this event is particularly close to my heart.

Terry’s C2K 2021 Ride Fundraising
You all know I love doing crazy things on bikes and so I have entered the Cairns to Karumba bike ride, a total of 780kms in one week.
All the time I spend on the bike is mainly out of pleasure and not training. I like to ride my bike to see new places and experience new things so having the opportunity to do this event is quite amazing. It will be a massive week on the bike in unknown terrain, sounds like a dream come true…
One of the best plus sides is I can now help raise money for students in Far North QLD get the education they need and see the places they reside first hand. If you could find the time to donate to my campaign I promise to give all the blood sweat and tears I can and fang it across the cape with all of Toowoomba cycling’s friends backing me!!!!
I have set of goal of $500 and any donations big and small are so greatly appreciated.

Cairns to Karumba Adventure – Jane Slater
Donate and make a difference to Australian kids in the bush.
I’ll be riding 780km from Cairns to Karumba over 7 days starting on Saturday 26th June 2021. This incredible adventure is by far my biggest cycling challenge and I’m super excited to be a part of such a fantastic event. The C2K is a charity ride raising much needed funds to support educational connection for students in remote Far North Queensland communities, providing them with educational opportunities. The smallest donation is much appreciated as they all add up to make a huge difference to a very worthwhile charity.
Thank you for your support 🙂
