Dollars raised in the October Campaign vs Kilometer Cycled by the Team

Funds raised exceeded the number of Kilometer's Cycled by our team, so for fun, the Mission was to attempt to finish the October 2025 Campaign with a ONE Dollar for each Kilometer Cycled by the Team. The difficulty was that both Totals were "Moving Targets," Dollars were ahead by almost $6736 with only 6 Days of the Campaign Remaining then on Oct 30t we briefly had $43,520 for 43,520 km's Cycled. We closed off Midnight 31st Oct0ber at 44,784 km and $44,098 for the Children. We can ride too the Moon and back but of course the Cash is ALWAYS the winner in this Campaign.

CYCLING AROUND THE WORLD IN 31 OCTOBER DAYS

This October Redlands Cycling & Multisport Club Team (RCMC) is again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! Last Year, 41 Redlands Cycling & Multisport Club Team participated, and we raised $29477 for Children's Cancer Research.

Our Team’s October Kilometer Total was 45,426, an Average of 1465 km's per day for the 31 days. The banter during the challenge is amazing and so many team members rode WAY beyond their comfort Zone. The Challenge is a great format that doesn't draw donation $$ away from the Charity. So after just turning 80 in August, here we go again with building the 2025 team to smash our Goals.

Firstly, here is a Review our previous Participations as a team and the 2025 Goal.

2021 Team RCMC Raised $7,781 and Collectively Cycled 35,216 km's

2022 TEAM RCMC Raised $21,676 and Collectively Cycled 37,430 km's

2023 TEAM RCMC Raised $24,416 and Collectively Cycled 33,422 km's

2024 TEAM RCMC Raised $29,477 and Collectively Cycled 45,426 km's

2025 TEAM RCMC RAISED $44.376 and Collectively Cycled 44,784 km's

TEAM Five Year Legacy $127,726 ........................ Cycled 196,272 km's

Earth's circumference measured around the equator, is just 40,075 km, that is our Ride Target for 31 October Days and would bring up the 185,000 kms and at least $110,000 raised in five participations is well within reach.

We are aware right now, that cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 600 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week. We also ride in memory of our great departed Friends Darren Timms and John Smallwood (RIP) and are raising funds to support the Children's Medical Research Institute to enable them to continue their work into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and finding a cure for childhood cancer. Thank you everyone who supports our challenge by donating.
