WELCOME TO THE COAST TO COAST FOR KIDS FUNDRAISING PAGE! 

Coast to Coast for Kids is a 3,000km bicycle ride starting at the top of far north Queensland in Cooktown in mid August 2010 and finishing in Sydney in mid September 2010. 

Founding members David Bonne and Scott Gilbertson, both novice cyclists, have been personally touched by life changing experiences attempting to start a family. Choosing charities close to their heart, the ride will raise much needed funding and awareness for the Sydney Children's Hospitals Tumbatin Clinic and the Bonnie Babes Foundation.
