Pain Revolution

A seven-day cycle tour led by some of Australia's leading pain scientists and clinicians who are taking on their own physical challenge, riding their bikes from Devonport to Hobart, Tasmania. The team will be stopping in rural centres en route to discuss the latest discoveries and learn from clinicians and communities who are facing the issue of persisting pain every day. We are proud to support Professor Lorimer Moseley and this group in their challenge and to help spread the message about overcoming and preventing persisting pain.

Resources are funded through a mix of foundation funds and partnership arrangements with corporate or government support. We empower local communities by supplying these educational tools and resources FREE Australia wide. The Foundation is also committed to assisting young people who are victims of crime in a way that will make a positive difference to their lives.

These young survivors of crime have been assisted by the Foundation in a number of ways, mostly identified by case managers and psychologists.

Beyond the Darkness Postie Run

A group of mates decided it would be a good idea to ride the trusty and hopefully reliable ‘Postie’ bike (Honda CT110) from Strathalbyn to Darwin, a distance of 4,200kms. If that wasn’t challenging enough, they headed off the bitumen to tackle the Oodnadatta track. The lads grew up in Strathalbyn where the suicide rate is 3 - 4 times higher than the national average and they have all been touched by mental illness in some way. As such, the purpose of the ride is to raise money for beyondblue.
