It's the final day... let's finish strong!

Great Cycle Challenge ends TODAY...

And we've ridden 2,217,000 km and raised $6,980,115 so far to end childhood cancer and save little lives.

But we're not done yet. 😊

Your support will give our kids the strength to keep fighting and the hope that new treatments and a cure will be found for this terrible disease.

So stand with us now and take ONE FINAL ACTION to give these kids hope for a cancer-free future!

Because it's the final day of the challenge and one of the biggest days for fundraising...

So let's make it count.

Take action now and tell everyone about your awesome efforts to ride this month to fight kids' cancer!

Because every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer...

Let's finish strong for these kids. 💪

P.P.S. Remember, the website will remain open for the month of September so you can log any final kilometres (in case of bad weather or a late start etc.) and continue to collect donations.

Kick Cancer's Butt Day is Wednesday! MATCHING DONATIONS

ATTENTION AMAZING BHP RIDERS!!! Spread the word 📢

KICK CANCER'S BUTT DAY INFO

Wednesday (August 14) is Kick Cancer's Butt Day!

And our wonderful supporters, the Garron Family, will be MATCHING all donations received today (up to $1,300,000) to encourage EVERYONE across the country to Kick Cancer's Butt!

That means ANY online donation YOU receive on Kick Cancer's Butt Day will qualify and the matching donation will be added to your online fundraising page within 24 hours. You can even sponsor yourself. :)

Here's the key facts you need to be aware of for Kick Cancer's Butt Day:

Any online donation you receive from 12:00 a.m. Wednesday morning to 11:59 p.m. Wednesday night on August 14 will be matched by the Garron Family (up to $1,300,000). We're covering all CAN time zones so no one misses out.

We can only match donations received on Wednesday through your online fundraising page, so if you enter offline donations through your dashboard, these will also need to be paid in on Wednesday to be eligible for the matching. Unfortunately, check donations cannot be included in the match, as they cannot be received and processed in the match window.

If we do raise more than the $1,300,000 pledge this Wednesday (fingers crossed), we'll allocate the donations equally among riders (based on the % total that you raised), to make sure it's fair for everyone. We'll add the donation to your page within 1 business day, and we will email you to confirm your match once it has been added to your fundraising total.

Any match donation amount you receive will also count towards our incentives like the FREE GCC jersey and / or GCC Hero Jersey and / or GCC All-Star jersey!
