Greyhound Australia is back on the road with Tour de Cure for this year’s Signature Tour from Hobart to Adealide starting Friday.
Two Greyhound coaches will accompany 187 riders and support crew 16-23 March, with the tour aiming to raise $2 million for the fight against cancer.
Tour de Cure is a cancer agnostic not for profit, and funds Australian Cancer Research projects along with support and prevention projects around the country.
To further support the cause Greyhound will donate $1 from every ticket sold 14-21 March, said Greyhound Australia CEO Dan Smith.
“We are honoured to continue our partnership with Tour de Cure to bolster the fantastic work they do in the areas of cancer research and support,” he said.
“Greyhound is committed to growing and strengthening our support of this worthy cause.”
It marks the seventh year of the partnership since Greyhound jumped onboard in 2017, said Tour de Cure CEO Simon Rountree.
“Tour de Cure is incredibly grateful for the support from Greyhound again this year,” he said.
“Both organisations have experienced firsthand the impact that cancer has on communities across Australia.
“Working together we will increase the funds that can be channelled towards vital cancer research and support programs for people currently going through their cancer journey.”
