Ever complained or procrastinated about doing exercise, taken the car instead of riding  your bike?Imagine how much harder it would be if you couldn’t afford a bicycle in the first place because you needed a $3000 handcycle!

Twenty per cent of Australians have a disability, and face additional costs to get physically active. For an able bodied child to try out the sport of cycling, their parents can hire a bike or  pick one up for about $100. A child in a wheelchair needs a handcycle costing $1500- $12 000. A pair of running shoes costs around $200, a racing wheelchair costs up to $3000. So as you can see, there is great need for this charity.

Can you help an athlete make their sporting dreams come true? Even a small amount can put a smile on an athletes face. Every dollar donated goes straight to helping athletes with disabilities realise their sporting Dreams.

1. Sponsor a developing athlete grant - $1000
