MILES FOR MND: ONE LAST RIDE

By Robert

In June 2026, Bob and Tom are cycling all the way from Broome to Bowral in aid of MND NSW.

Every day two Australians are diagnosed with motor neurone disease. There is currently no cure.

Support us and help raise funds so MND NSW can continue to be there for people living with motor neurone disease at every stage of their MND journey.

"For over 40 years, MND NSW has worked to raise awareness of MND and provide the best possible care and support for people with MND across NSW, the ACT and the Northern Territory. 

Without a cure, and an average life expectancy of just 27 months, we focus on providing life-changing education, assistive equipment, and support to improve the quality of life of people with MND, their families, and carers.

We ask you show your support for this amazing challenge taken on by Bob and Together we can make a real difference in the lives of those that need it most."

- Graham Opie, CEO MND NSW, 18 November 2025

Why is Bob Riding.

🚴‍♂️ Why Bob is Riding

This ride from Broome to Bowral isn’t about distance.
It’s about time.
Motor Neurone Disease has no cure.
The average life expectancy after diagnosis is just 27 months.
That’s why Bob — and his grandson Tom — are riding.

For over 40 years, MND NSW has supported people living with MND across NSW, the ACT and the Northern Territory.
Words from the CEO Graham Opie shared on 18 November 2025:
“Without a cure, and an average life expectancy of just 27 months, we focus on providing life-changing education, assistive equipment, and support to improve the quality of life of people with MND, their families, and carers.
We ask you to show your support for this amazing challenge taken on by Bob and Tom and together we can make a real difference in the lives of those that need it most.”

This ride is about turning kilometres into care.
💛 Life-changing education
💛 Assistive equipment
💛 Improving quality of life
If you’re here already — thank you.
You’re part of the why.
