In May 2024, 13 dedicated cyclists came together for a 130km ride from Bella Vista to Bowral, honouring our close friend, Sebastian Stafford, who sadly passed away in September 2023 due to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
What started as a tribute to Sebastian quickly became something much bigger. Our first ride raised over $45,000 for Diabetes Australia and Breakthrough T1D, bringing together people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), their families, friends and supporters, all united by one goal: turning type one into type none.
In 2025, we returned with an even bigger challenge, raising an incredible $55,000 and continuing to grow Our Journey to Cure T1D into an annual event.
In 2026, we took things even further, raising an incredible $80,000 to support the search for a cure. Every kilometre, every donation and every person who got behind the ride helped bring us closer to a world without T1D.
Now, we're looking ahead to 2027 with our biggest goal yet: raising $100,000!
Our Journey to Cure T1D is more than just a ride. It’s a movement. It’s about proving that no one faces this disease alone, that together, we can push through every challenge, and that one day, we will find a cure.
Join us on the ride, support a rider or cheer us on at the finish line. Together, we can make every kilometre count and help turn type one into type none.
