"It is truly inspiring to see a group of people take on such a major challenge as the gruelling 1000 km plus ride of Tour De Kids in an effort to support these wonderful children facing the enormous challenge of dealing with a serious illness. Whilst the challenge that the ride provides is great – it is nothing in comparison to the very real challenge that these children face. I hope that through their efforts they can help to bring some fun, happiness and laughter to as many of the very special children and families that are dealing with the challenges that illness has bought to their lives."
