Strength Grows When We Ride for Something Bigger Than Ourselves
Last weekend, I had the privilege of taking part in the 25th Hartley Cycle Challenge, an event that’s so much more than a ride—it’s a testament to resilience, teamwork, and community spirit.
As the road wound upward and the mountain grew steeper, I discovered something powerful: strength isn’t just about pushing harder on the pedals. It’s about leaning on the camaraderie of those around you. When my legs were screaming and the summit felt out of reach, a helping hand and a few words of encouragement made all the difference.
That’s the essence of Hartley—supporting each other to achieve what seems impossible.
Phillips Wealth Partners was proud to sponsor this incredible event, which raises vital funds for Hartley Lifecare’s award-winning disability services. These services empower individuals and families to live with dignity, independence, and hope. Every kilometre we rode was a reminder that the real challenge isn’t the hills—it’s ensuring that everyone in our community has the support they need.
To everyone who rode, volunteered, or donated: thank you for proving that when we ride for something bigger than ourselves, we all grow stronger.
