Now in its sixth year, children's charity Royal Far West's premier fundraiser 'Ride For Country Kids' is only days away from hitting the road.
The 450 kilometre ride from Albury to Lake Cargelligo, is Royal Far West's biggest fundraising event of the year and raises money to help connect country children to the developmental care they require.
The schedule
- Sunday, April 7 - Albury to Wagga Wagga
- Monday, April 8 - Wagga Wagga to West Wyalong
- Tuesday, April 9 - West Wyalong to Lake Cargelligo
Building on its 95 years of support from rural and remote communities in NSW, Royal Far West's 63 committed cyclists will visit schools on the route, meeting children and families who are currently supported by the charity, and also catching up with local alumni, friends and supporters.
Royal Far West would like everyone to come out and say hello at the various stops along the way.
To find out where the riders will be and at what time, visit www.royalfarwest.org.au/ride-2019 for details.
The riders have set a fundraising target of $500,000, and every dollar raised from the ride will go towards Royal Far West's health, education and disability services to support the children and their families in rural and remote communities who cannot access services locally.

In addition to raising funds, Royal Far West will host a series of free NDIS information sessions for families in need of support for children aged two to 12 years living with autism, developmental delay or intellectual disability.
The evenings will take place on April 6 in Albury, April 7 in Wagga Wagga, April 8 in West Wyalong and April 9 in Lake Cargelligo.
