Revolve24 raises over $51,000 for JDRF!

Revolve24 is over but what a ride we had! Thousands of kilometres of the new Bend Motorsport Track at Tailem Bend cycled. Many exhausted and sore riders who on little sleep rotated through their team members over 24, 12 or 6 hours to achieve some amazing personal goals on 2 wheels. Some even rode solo and achieved +600kms!

Extremes of nature with warm day time temperatures, huge afternoon winds, calm night time darkness, early morning chill and fog!

JDRF was very fortunate to be Revolve24’s charity of choice for 2019. With thanks to event organiser David Fell for selecting us.

Thank you and congratulations to our Revolvers who have collectively raised over $51K to support JDRF’s mission to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes, with more to be banked in the coming weeks.

Thank you to our volunteers who supported over the entire weekend. We could not have done it without you.

New formulation of insulin may speed up its action for people with type 1 diabetes
