Can you go the distance?
Cycle Power is an intrepid fundraising initiative, combining the challenge of long-disance cycling with a chance to make a tangible contribution to projects which give people with disability a fair go.
In 2012 Cycle Power will be heading to Cambodia, 1st - 10th June, raising funds to help empower women with disability.
Join our unique cycling adventure, travelling 350km from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to build a pilot Women's Wheelchair Basketball program.

Cycle Power Vietnam 2011
The inagural Cyle Power cycling challenge from from
Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam took place on 16th - 30th July 2011.
Our cyclists covered a staggering 540kms in eight
days, raising $80,000 for the initiative to date.
Cycle Power particpants donated 20 sports
wheelchairs to charity partner East Meets West Foundation to
facilitate a sport and recreation program for athletes with disability in the
province of Quang Tri called INSPIRE SPORTS.
Five Vietnamese athletes with disability from Quang
Tri participated in the event, cycling and travelling with the Australian
contingent for two days. Both the Cycle Power team and the Vietnamese athletes
visited the Village of Hope Orphange (home to 40 children with disability) to
host a Wheel Talk session with the children.
The ride was a perfect showcase of how involvement
in sports can be a powerful tool for connectedness and empowerment. John Anner, President East Meets West Foundation
