UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE
Think of it as a history-making opportunity for you to do something big about cancer, something epic. Like cycling for two days throughout the picturesque countryside of Queensland - August 18-19, 2012.
Sure, it sounds like a lot... and it's meant to be. The conquest of cancer is a monumental task and won't be easy. But make no mistake, this event isn't just for athletes or cycling enthusiasts. The Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer
® is for anyone who wants to challenge themselves for a great cause. Even people who haven't ridden since they were twelve.
All you need is motivation, a bike, and a helmet. The rest is history. Be part of it.
MAKE AN IMPACT
1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
The money you raise for The Ride will benefit the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, a worldwide leader in cancer research and discovery. QIMR devotes half of its research to understanding the causes of cancer and developing better diagnostics and treatments.
