Once again, the Dismantle Charity Team is gearing up to conquer the Cape2Cape MTB event, while raising funds for WA’s at-risk youth.
The Cape2Cape MTB event is the largest and longest-running MTB event in Australia, spanning the awe-inspiring coastal landscapes of Western Australia. Against this backdrop, the Dismantle Charity Team is gearing up to raise $100k for disadvantaged young people.
Last year, the team’s efforts resulted in over $50k raised, which directly benefited disadvantaged youth in regional and remote areas of Western Australia. The funds helped expand the reach of our BikeRescue programs, bringing essential mentorship, hands-on training, and life skills development to communities from Leonora to Exmouth.
“I felt so proud to be amongst such a high spirited team willing to give it their all to support charity AND to complete such a brutally fantastic event.”
This October, the team with support of the event organisers, Ironman, aims to raise $100k to support Dismantle's mission. Every dollar raised will contribute to ensuring that at-risk youth in Western Australian have the opportunity and support to break the cycle of disadvantage and build a better future.
“I’ve competed in the Cape to Cape over 10 times and last year as part of the Dismantle team was very special. The camaraderie between the riders, support before & after the race from the Dismantle staff and raising money for a cause that is close to my heart made it one to remember.”
If you have been eyeing the Cape2Cape ride or want to challenge yourself to support WA’s at-risk youth, the Charity Team is currently seeking new riders for the C2C this October. By joining the team and taking on this incredible journey, you have the opportunity to not only push your own limits but also raise funds that will empower young individuals and break the cycles of disadvantage. You can register for the team here or contact us for more information at marketing@dismantle.org.au.
Ways to get involved
If you're unable to participate in the big ride itself, there are several other ways to get involved. You can donate to each rider to get them closer to their goal or donate to the team as a whole. Additionally, purchase raffle tickets for a chance to walk away with a fresh new mountain bike, the Merida 22 Ninety-Six RC 5000, while supporting the cause.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming merchandise, as purchasing it will not only raise funds but also spread awareness for Dismantle. No matter how big or small, every contribution plays a vital role in reaching our goal and making a difference to the lives of WA’s young people.
