If you’re looking for a fun and exciting way to keep warm during July, then get on your bike and help Victoria’s Special Needs Children by taking part in the inaugural Tour de Liberte!

This month-long cycling fundraiser is supporting Variety, the children’s charity, by raising money for the Bike for Kids program, whereby Variety purchases new bikes and helmets and distributes them to disadvantaged children.

The event is open to all Victorians – whether you’re a keen club cyclist or just someone who enjoys a leisurely ride.

So, if you enjoy cycling or just like to keep fit with regular exercise, get your friends, family or even your boss to join your team or sponsor your kilometres – the more you ride, the more money you raise!

Remember… every pedal pushed goes towards helping Victoria’s Special Needs Children!

Team registrations or donations can be made online at www.tourdeliberte.com.au or call (03) 8698 3900.
