Seeking Sponsorship for my "Access Australia Ride"

My name is Bevan Kearsley, I am living with a spinal cord injury as a result of being involved in a motorbike accident 26 years ago.

I have benefited from the generosity of others through the years and have seen the positive outcomes of acts of kindness and keen to pay it back by raising funds for programs that are close to my personal journey.

Helping organisations like Spinal Life Australia, and Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation will help provide immediate support to others living with a disability while providing hope for the future – a future that will be more inclusive and more accessible for all.

My fundraising idea:

Despite acquiring my spinal cord injury through a motorbike accident, I remain a dedicated and passionate bike rider – I now ride a modified three wheeler.

I intend to ride my wheelchair around Australia to raise funds for these programs but as importantly, I am raising awareness of people with disabilities and our desire to travel and see Australia, like most other Australians. – and I’d like your help.

How does this relate to you?

An endeavour such as this takes:

● Passion and determination

● A dedicated team of people

● A well-developed plan, and….

● Sponsorship (and that is where you come in).

I am looking for organisations and individuals to sponsor a whole range of items needed for me to complete my trip, from fuel, to food to insurance and accommodation. Anything that would reduce the overall cost of the trip so that any funds raised can go straight to the finding a cure for Spinal Cord Injury.

Below please find more information about the trip and the list of sponsorship opportunities.
