The Ride for Recovery is a joint venture between the Leukaemia Foundation and the Myeloma Foundation to raise awareness of blood cancers in Australia and raise funds for blood cancer patients’ services.

The foundations are proud to work together under the Ride for Recovery banner to benefit those suffering the many cancers that come under the heading of blood cancers.

The ride was initiated by a group of keen cyclists who rather than just ride for the enjoyment, decided to ride for the good of those in need.

The ride has grown into a major event with sixty riders (the maximum allowed by road traffic authorities), riding from Melbourne to Sydney over seven days, each fundraising individually and as a group to aid the charities involved.
