RideWA Backing and Donations

Emma and Greg will be cycling 4,700km from Broome to Esperance, traversing the diversity of Western Australia. Our route has been designed to display and experience the essence of WA and include some of our favourite cycling roads. It will be publicly available as a resource for other adventurers. You can find out more on our website .

 

Our trip is expected to take 3.5 weeks at an average of 200 km/day. We set out on 16 August 2021. The total estimated cost is $9,000 for accommodation and food on route.

 

We have had numerous people ask how they can contribute to the cost of the trip, so we have set up a GoFundMe to raise $2,000 towards the cost of the trip, and targeting $6,000 for charity.

 

If we raise less than $4,000 the funds raised will be distributed equally to support our trip and to support charity. Once we get to $8,000 any additional funds raised will be split between the cost of the trip and the selected charities. We will divide the funds roughly equally between the three nominated charities.

 

We have chosen the following charities that are Western-Australian based, and address issues that are close to our heart and represent some of the diversity of our State:

Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Recovery Centre, in Perth Hills – because we see black cockatoos often on our bike touring in the South West and Wheatbelt, we affectionately refer to them as “our friend” birds. Kaarakin is a specialised black cockatoo rehabilitation centre, and also contributes to habitat restoration. It costs them $11 per day per cockatoo, and they have about 150 birds! We aim to raise $2,000 for Kaarakin, which will provide funds to sponsor and release two black cockatoos.

Trillion Trees, a Western Australian based charity that plants trees and understorey to improve biodiversity and combat salinity and soil erosion. If every citizen around the world plants 140 trees, we will have an additional trillion trees – the cost of 140 trees is $700 (via this charity). We aim to raise $2,000.

Feed The Little Children, a charity that provides hot meals and cooking classes to young disadvantaged children in Broome. $100 feeds 20 children for one night, they do 600 meals, two nights a week. We aim to raise $2,000.
