OVERVIEW

, ANZUP

7 Sydney Pedalthons, 5 cancers, 1038 laps, 4079 kilometres (that’s from Sydney to Perth!), an extraordinary $59,823.70 raised and the funds are still rolling in!

After three years off the track, we thank every rider, supporter and volunteer who joined us at Sydney Motorsport Park on Tuesday 22 November, for the energy and commitment to making it a fantastic day, as well as the amazing efforts in raising vital funds for testicular, prostate, penile, kidney and bladder cancer research!

The day was full of energy and competitive spirit; we witnessed grit, determination, and cycling prowess, as well as a lot of fun.

A special thank you to ANZUP’s Researchers, Professor Lisa Horvath and Associate Professor Kate Mahon, thank you for riding and reminding us why the Pedalthon is so important. And to Associate Professor Peter Grimison for riding every year in support of the Pedalthon’s founder Simon Clarke and ANZUP and representing ANZUP on the day.

We are thrilled to announce that not only have we raised nearly $60k but another milestone was made with the funds raised from this event ticking us over to more than $2 million raised since 2014. That is over $2 million going straight to ANZUP Cancer Trials Group to improve the lives of people affected by bladder, kidney, testicular, penile, and prostate cancers through practice-changing multidisciplinary collaborative clinical trials.

THANKS TO SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS

BRONZE SPONSORS - PFIZER ONCOLOGY

Thank you to our wonderful Bronze Sponsor Pfizer for their amazing support.

Pfizer Oncology has been a regular face at the Sydney Pedalthon both on and off the track since its inception in 2014. This year, Pfizer generously returned for the fourth time as Bronze Sponsors for the event.

Not only that, but 2022 was their seventh time as riders – which means that they have supported and pedalled with us at every Sydney event.
