How it all started
In May 2007, what started as a coffee between two mates led to Tour de Cure’s registration as an Australian charity and the inaugural cycling tour.
Over five years Tour de Cure has cycled from;
- Brisbane to Sydney
- Melbourne to Sydney
- Brisbane to Cairns
- Sydney to Sunshine Coast
- Sydney to Melbourne
We are currently gearing up for our 2012 Tour which will be from Brisbane to Mission Beach in May 2012. We are also excited to announce also our inaugural 'Cancer Awareness for Country Kids' Tour which will be held in March 2012 that aims to not only raise funds to find a cure for cancer but improve the shocking Cancer statistics in regional Australia.
As always our fundraising is a collaborative effort and we look forward to growing the team, involving more Corporate and engaging with more communities across 2012 in order to raise over $2 million in the fight against cancer.
2010 Tour - Sydney to Sunshine Coast
The 2010 Tour took place in May and saw a team of 109 riders and support crew ride over 1,400km from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast. Last year set a new benchmark and raised an impressive $1.8 million, which eclipsed every expectation and goal set by the Tour.
For every dollar raised 70c went directly to fund cancer research, support and prevention projects through Tour de Cure’s selected charity beneficiaries.
2009 Tour - Brisbane to Cairns
In May 2009 a team of over 58, with corporate Australiaís continued support, rode 1,555km from Brisbane to Cairns with the aim of raising $600,000.
They raised $837,610.
2008 Tour - Brisbane to Cairns
In March 2008, less than 10 months after our inaugural tour, Tour de Cure left Melbourne for Sydney on our second tour.
