2012 JMF Kilometres for Kids
The Hunter Valley Tour
The K4K Hunter Valley Tour is a great opportunity to ride around Australia's oldest wine region, whilst raising funds for Australian kids who use wheelchairs.
‘Kilometres for Kids’ (K4K) is an annual organised ride, which started in 2007 with a 5 day ride from Sydney to Melbourne. Since 2007, K4K event has evolved into a 3 day/stage Tour. In 2011 we are returning to the Hunter Valley.
The event is open to any cycling enthusiast who wants to participate in three great days of cycling, with a great bunch of people, and make a difference to the lives of some fantastic young kids who are doing it a little tough.
