TOUR de Cure will host their second Queensland Country Tour in Queensland’s Inner West region until Saturday, 31 August.
The Country Tour aims to raise over $138,000 to help fund local cancer research, support and prevention projects as well as world leading cancer research that will save lives.
V8 Supercar drivers and guest riders, including Jono Webb, will join the team of 34 ‘riding to cure cancer’ on the first stage of the tour, Gold Coast to Beaudesert.
The tour will leave from Tugun on the Gold Coast and ride 534km in four days. They will be stopping at Beaudesert, Warrick, Esk and Brisbane.
With the statistic that “one in three cancer cases can be prevented” this Queensland Country Tour will raise money to help find a cure for cancer, but also awareness in each community visited on route during its four days.
The team will visit up to three primary schools each day and share Tour de Cure’s ‘Be Fit – Be Healthy – Be Happy’ cancer awareness message and education packs with more than 2500 kids.
Also on route the Tour de Cure team look forward to thanking, in person, local teams from their corporate partners.
These include Optus, Commonwealth Bank, Lexus, Sunrise, Salmat, Officeworks, Huawei, Vittoria Coffee and Life Technologies.
To further support visited communities, Tour de Cure will be donating $5000 each night to local cancer research, support or prevention projects. These cheques are presented to local representatives at Tour de Cure’s nightly ‘Community Celebration Dinner’.
Tour de Cure extends an invitation to you to join them at your local Queensland Country Tour
‘Community Celebration Dinner’.
