Midi-Smiddy Challenge

The Midi-Smiddy Challenge raises funds for cancer research and health care in memory of Brisbane triathlete Adam Smiddy who passed away from an aggressive cancer at age 26. Since 2006 Smiling for Smiddy has raised more than $1.1 million for cancer research.

As a spin-off from its parent event, the eight day Bottlemart Smiling for Smiddy Challenge, the Midi-Smiddy will see 40 cyclists tackle a demanding 560 kilometre route around south east Queensland in only three days.

The Mater Foundation is the major beneficiary with funds supporting prostate cancer research, melanoma drug trials and complementary therapies for cancer patients. Funds are also distributed to key organisations such as the PA Foundation and Melanoma Patients Australia.
