Bike to Belong - Riding 80kms for the 80 million displaced globally

Written By Tim Buxton

Coinciding with the most significant week of awareness and learning around refugee & displaced peoples, Bike to Belong event was held during United Nations World Refugee Day — June 20. The challenge was to ride 80km during World Refugee Week to raise awareness and funds for displaced people and the important work that You Belong is doing.

130+ riders got on their bikes to ride up to 80kms for the 80 million displaced people of the world.

The team at You Belong shared regularly about the root causes of displacement and the tragic impact experienced especially by those who are most vulnerable.

Together, the riders raised $27,000 to provide care, healing, and hope for refugee integration in Australia, as well as funding mental health care for displaced people in Iraq and Uganda.
