DonateLife Week ACT activation: Synergy Cycling

Join Synergy as we proudly support DonateLife Week with a week-long cycling series celebrating community, connection, and the life-saving impact of organ and tissue donation.

From scenic bunch rides and mountain bike adventures to epic gravel challenges, each day offers a chance to come together, ride with purpose, and raise awareness for donation and transplantation. Whether you're joining for a coffee stop, a school launch, or the grand finale in Jugiong, there's something for everyone—riders, supporters, and advocates alike.

It’s a powerful opportunity to connect with friends, family, and teammates, while helping spread the DonateLife message across Canberra and beyond.

We invite everyone to get involved, learn more, and ride for a cause that saves lives.

We want all Australians to talk about organ and tissue donation. If you want to be a donor, make sure you tell your family and friends.

Registering is easy and only takes one minute. All you need is your phone, Medicare card and one minute to register.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, your medical history, your lifestyle, what country you’re from or how healthy you are — you can still register as an organ and tissue donor.

The Organ and Tissue Authority acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.
