The Melbourne-based Chain Reaction Challenge cyclists have pedalled past the finish line!
A huge thank you and congratulations to all the amazing riders who took part, cycling the 1,000km course across the North Island of New Zealand and raising over $800,000 for Monash Children’s Hospital and the Starlight Foundation.
Dr Cathy McAdam, Dr Sabine Hennel and Professor Nick Freezer represented Monash Children’s Hospital, riding alongside Olympic champion Grace Brown, and warming up those tricky inclines for Dr Rob Roseby, who will take off shortly as part of the Sydney-based Chain Reaction Challenge, representing the Monash Children’s Hospital team.
Thank you all for your incredible efforts and dedication to training to be mentally and physically fit to ride and raise funds for Monash Children’s Hospital.
We are also incredibly grateful to the Chain Reaction team and support crew for putting together another outstanding event and to Paul and Tatum Mitchell, our Charity Ambassadors on the ride, who put in so much hard work as part of the support crew, going above and beyond in their roles.
The funds raised for the Monash Children’s Hospital will be used to purchase new state-of-the-art ventilators, helping critically ill babies and children to breathe and get home to their families sooner, where they belong.
