Breaths & Beats Ride for Research

On May 7th 2023 15 heart and lung transplant recipients lead 230 cyclists challenging themselves by taking part in our inaugural 34km Breaths and Beats Ride for Research. Our fundraising ride, starting and finishing at Fiona Stanley Hospital, raised almost a quarter of a million dollars which will support vital research improving the lives of all in the community with advanced heart and lung disease.
