Hodgie squad

We are fundraising for a great cause

We're doing the Breakthrough T1D One Ride to raise funds for type 1 diabetes! This means we will be riding on 29 November 2025 through the picturesque Barossa Valley. If you are registering for the ride and want to have fun with Hodgies Squad let's do it together!!! Of course we are also raising funds to support life-changing research to help improve the lives of those living with type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break and people living with type 1 diabetes facing an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy. Breakthrough T1D is the largest funder of type 1 diabetes research in the world.

DONATE NOW to help change the lives of more than 130,000 Australians living with T1D. Thank you!

Thank you to our Sponsors

Simon C

Great support from Simon C to assist my fundraising efforts by buying an authentic jersey from the 1988 KAS Tour de France team that added sponsorship from Miko just for the event. The Tour started in Berlin that year and I was taken along as a reserve but sadly didn’t start. So the jersey is almost pristine and I only had the one! Thanks Simon.
