Ride For Reason 2025

By Ride For Reason

1 IN 2 AUSTRALIANS ARE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER BEFORE THE AGE OF 85 - WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!


November 2025 we're proud to be supporting our Head Of Fitness & Community Programming, Jarrod Simmons as he embarks on a gruelling 300km ride in just 12 HOURS!!!

Date: November 1 2025

Time: 6:30am the ride to commence

Venue: Main Entranceway & Reception of Mildura Waves Aquatic and Leisure Centre

Our fundraising efforts don't stop here though! We'll be dedicating  a host of other activities taking place including a Morning Tea, raffles and much more, so keep your eyes peeled for more ways to get involved and support a great cause!

 For more information or event enquiries, please contact Jarrod directly via email at jarrod.simmons@alignedleisure.com.au or call Mildura Waves on (03) 5018 7500.

 Thanks to cancer research, more people are surviving cancer every year. Every donation, big or small, is appreciated with 100% going directly to Cancer Council Australia, and we thank you in advance for your support.
