Road to Research

04/09/2025

We are 3 days into the Road to Research Ride. Our riders are doing an amazing job and are really finding their rhythm and enjoying the stunning countryside they are riding through. As for the support crew we wait patiently at each stop and breathe a collective sigh of relief when we see each rider ride into view.

Thank you to all those who have donated and helped us get 3/4 of the way to our target. Every donation counts and helps get us closer to a cure.

🚴‍♀️ Day One Highlights! 🚴‍♂️
What an incredible start to the Road to Research ride — full of energy, determination, and purpose. From the first pedal stroke to today’s finish line, every mile brings us closer to breakthroughs in T1D research.

💙 Thank you to everyone riding, cheering, and supporting along the way. This journey is only just beginning, and we’re so proud to kick it off with such momentum!

🌟 The countdown is nearly over.

In just days, wheels will roll, and the Road to Research ride will begin. These moments before the start are filled with anticipation, excitement, and a touch of nerves… but also with deep purpose.

Every rider has trained, prepared and committed themselves not just to the journey ahead, but to the cause that drives it. The days leading up to the start are about reflection, gratitude, and strength - knowing that every kilometre ahead will make a difference.

As the starting line draws near, let’s hold onto the energy of possibility.

This ride is more than a challenge - it’s a statement of hope, resilience, and unity. 🚴‍♂️💙

Good Luck, safe travels and a huge thanks to all those involved, and to all those who continue to support us in making this journey so successful!
