Against the Wind Charity Ride Featured in Echo Net’s Byron Healing
The Against the Wind Charity Ride has received media coverage in Echo Net’s Byron Healing, bringing further attention to the 350km Northern Rivers cycling challenge supporting domestic violence awareness and prevention. The article highlights the symbolic distance of the ride, representing the approximately 350 domestic violence calls made in NSW every day.
Organised by the Boaty Boys from Lennox Head, the three-day event aims to raise awareness, support frontline services, and fund practical programs delivered by charity partners DV Safe Phone and NAPCAN. Funds raised help provide emergency phones for people fleeing violence and support education programs that promote respectful relationships in schools.
The coverage reinforces the growing community support behind the ride and its mission to turn physical effort into meaningful change across the Northern Rivers.
