Ride for Purpose: Support the Starlight Tour de Kids 2025 with Northwave Australia

29th Sep 2025

At Northwave Australia, performance, innovation, and passion for cycling fuel everything we do. But sometimes, it’s not just about the ride—it’s about why we ride. This October, we’re proud to support a cause that matters deeply to our cycling community: the Starlight Tour de Kids 2025.


Whether you’re crushing KOMs, commuting to work, or pedalling weekend loops, every kilometre you ride can bring joy and support to sick kids doing it tough.

Why We Ride

The Tour de Kids is Australia’s biggest virtual cycling challenge, raising vital funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. More than just a cycling goal, it's an opportunity to ride with meaning. Every turn of the pedals supports life-changing programs for seriously ill children and their families.


Previously:


  • Over 370,000 km were ridden
  • More than $696,000 raised
  • Impacting over 17,800 sick kids

This year, with your help, we’re aiming even higher.
