Alpine Classic 2009

2009 Audax Alpine Classic – Help OCF Move Mountains
The Alpine Classic is the toughest non-competitive ride in Australia. Participation will inevitably lead to a degree of pain and discomfort depending of course on your level of fitness, the weather conditions and the ride you chose to undertake. But one thing is for sure. There will be relief when you come across the finishing line.
We can only try to imagine the situation of a child with cancer or leukaemia, the pain that they have to endure and the pressure placed on friends and family. For many it never comes to an end.
It is this relationship between the challenges associated with participating in the Alpine Classic and those faced by children with cancer that motivated the ride organisers to appoint OCF (the Oncology Children's Foundation) as the events Official Benefactor.
Riders are encouraged to raise money for OCF by gaining individual sponsorship.

Oncology Children's Foundation
OCF (The Oncology Children's Foundation) is a not-for-profit Children's Charity exclusively devoted to raising funds for medical research into finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Over 700 Australian children under the age of 16 are diagnosed with cancer every year. Sadly, their mortality rate is one in four.
OCF has a determination to significantly increase the survival rate of children with cancer. …..today's research is tomorrow's cure.
Research funding is heavily reliant on the generosity of individuals and corporations.
In the financial year 2008, OCF raised $2,110,000 for the Oncology Research Unit (ORU) at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. The ORU is one of seven major children's cancer research units in the world that work as one for the benefit of all children with cancer no matter where they live.
OCF’s ambition is to increase its donation to the ORU by one million dollars per annum for the next five years.
