Who are Team Life Cycle?
Team Life Cycle consists of 9 very passionate cyclists all thriving on the challenge of pushing their bodies to the very limit to raise money to support people struggling to manage their mental health.
The team is broken up into 3 smaller teams of 3 and each group has to ride 6 x 1-hour legs in relay fashion over the first day before coming together to ride the last 90 kilometres to the finish line in Port Fairy on the Sunday as one team.
Team Life Cycle are taking on the Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay again to raise much-needed funds for Uniting’s headspace Horsham service. Our programs work to build skills, boost confidence, and assist people to better manage their mental health.
The event is run on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 April 2025. The team will cycle 520km all up, riding from Echuca to Port Fairy relay style over the 2 days.
What is the Murray to Moyne?
The Murray to Moyne Cycling Relay began 35 years ago. It was the inspiration of Graham ‘Woody’ Woodrup.
Graham dreamt of spreading the news that riding a bike not only has fabulous health and social benefits, but it can also be done to help others.
The Murray to Moyne is a team endurance event and an established classic on the cycling calendar.
Riders cycle in relays non-stop over two days and one night. They choose different routes starting from towns on the banks of the river Murray across stunning countryside in western Victoria to finish at Port Fairy.
They are encouraged to raise money for hospitals, health services and health-related charities close to their hearts.
headspace Horsham
headspace Horsham provides free support to young people aged 12-25 years going through a tough time. Our services include counselling and mental health support. We also run activities, events and workshops aimed at engaging the local community, raising awareness and understanding about mental health, and breaking down barriers to seeking help.
Why are we needed? One in four young people have experienced a mental health issue in the past 12 months. Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young Australians aged 15-24. Research shows that 75% of mental health issues emerge before the age of 25.
By treating these issues early and providing a holistic model of support, the risk of them developing into more serious problems is greatly decreased. Your generous support helps us to provide vital mental health and wellbeing support, information and services to young people and their families across the Wimmera region.
Sponsorship
