Our Story

What started as a tribute ride in memory of our dear friend, Sebastian Stafford, has become a movement. Our Journey to Cure T1D is now an annual ride, bringing together passionate cyclists and the T1D community to fund life-changing research.

In 2024, we raised $45,000.

In 2025, we raised $55,000.

In 2026, we're aiming for $100,000 - and with youe help, we can get there. 

I'm interested in cycling

Whether you’re just starting your cycling journey, a seasoned rider chasing new goals, or cheering on a loved one, this event has a distance for everyone. Ride alongside a passionate community, enjoy the challenge, and know that every pedal stroke helps power life-changing T1D research.

I'm interested in attending the BBQ

Gather the whole family for a celebration at Parramatta Park! Kids can enjoy games and face painting while parents connect with other T1D families. Share a relaxed BBQ lunch, meet new friends, and be part of a community coming together in support of T1D research.
