Why am I taking part

We have elected to host a Tour de Office bike to raise awareness about the dangers of prolonged sitting in our workplace. 70% of Australians sit for more than 8 hours a day. The human body is designed to move and this is a chance to get out of our chairs and reduce our risk of chronic diseases like Diabetes Type 2, some types of cancer, heart disease and obesity. We will also be raising much needed funds for: Starlight Children's Foundation Their mission Starlight's mission is "To brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families". Their impact Sometimes when a child gets really sick, the fun, play and laughter of childhood seem to disappear. But sick kids are still kids at heart and the fun shouldn’t stop. This is where Starlight jumps in! Starlight replace pain, fear and stress with fun, joy and laughter. And the result? Kids can forget about being sick and just be kids. Starlight help sick kids and their families take a break and find some much-needed joy and happiness during difficult times. That's the difference Starlight makes!!!
