Ride for Sick Kids

Ride for Sick Kids Raising money to support the services of Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW supporting sick and injured children and their families

Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW operates services throughout the Northern NSW region that support the families of children who are sick or injured. The Ride For Sick Kids is a major fundraising event for the charity and travels a varying route each year, touching the communities and towns as they ride through. A key component of the week long event are the school visits with an emphasis on prevention of accidents by teaching bike safety.

OUR FAMILIES ❤ | Meet Diego – an RMHC Northern NSW Dad and special guest on our 2025 Ride for Sick Kids Day 2 peloton 🚲.

When his daughter, Ayla, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, Diego and his family relied on Ronald McDonald House Newcastle to keep them together and close to vital medical care; calling it their ‘home away from home’ for over a year 🏡❤.

Today, motivated by his family and their own connection to RMHC NNSW, Diego joined our peloton of riders: 💬“I am proud to be part of RFSK and raising vital funds to help provide care, support, and hope to children and families impacted by childhood illnesses.

“With a personal commitment to making this initiative to contribute to a cause that touches the lives of so many.”
