The Cycle of Giving rides had grown to huge events by 2019. Over 600 riders and thousands of dollars raised. This popular charity ride was morphed into 'Tour de Brisbane' in 2020. Our Club has brought it back to the Sunshine Coast.

In 2026 we raised over $15, 640

All funds raised are directed to The Cycle of Giving Transplant Research Grant which is awarded to a Researcher each year.

Dr Alice Harford is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Heart Transplantation and the scientific lead for The Living Heart Project at the Critical Care Research Facility, The Prince Charles Hospital. Her research investigates the feasibility, safety, and therapeutic potential of mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) and hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) to improve outcomes for DCD donor hearts used in heart transplantation.

Her pilot study aims to support the expansion of DCD donor heart transplantation and help overcome current limitations within Australian clinical protocols. With a background in molecular ecological physiology, Dr Alice Harford specialises in mitochondrial function, resilience, and adaptation, exploring how cardiac and neural tissues respond to stressors such as oxygen limitation and environmental change. Her work examines mitochondrial function, structure, and stability to better understand and enhance biological performance under challenging conditions.

The 2026 Cycle of Giving ride is supported by Sunshine Coast Council's grants program providing teardrop flags, hi-vis vests for our ride leaders and polo shirts for volunteers.
