If you would like to track your km's on this year's ride we have linked up with Strava and Fitbit to automatically sync with your fundraising page and add to your kilometres when you record an activity.

If you’re not already connected with these devices, you can always use your Smartphone and download Strava or Fitbit to get started.

Once installed and your account has been created with your preferred app, login to your profile page and head to the 'My Fitness Activity' tab. Here you can now connect up to your preferred fitness app.

Click on the icon of the app you'd like to connect - this will ask you to login and authorise us to access your fitness account.

You're now connected!

When using your fitness app, remember to create a new activity through your app and stop when you're finished each time - this will ensure your kilometres are recorded onto your Bike 4 Burns page.

You can also manually add an activity through the 'My Fitness Activity' tab too.

Last year, the Queensland Children’s Hospital treated more than 1,743 children for burns injuries. 260 of these children required surgery for their injuries.

Through your support of Bike 4 Burns in 2024, you can help the Children’s Hospital Foundation’s fund: 

• Research – Research that’s needed to find faster diagnoses, better treatments and ultimately, cures for some of the most devastating childhood illnesses and injuries. Research like identifying dressings that reduce pain and promote faster wound healing for kids with burns.
• Equipment – Crucial new medical equipment to support doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to deliver the best possible paediatric care. Equipment like the Lumenis UltraPulse CO₂ fractional laser, in collaboration with Queensland Children’s Hospital, that can effectively ‘melt away’ old scar tissue and allow new skin to grow in its place.
• Patient & Family Support – Support and entertainment for children and their families to improve the hospital experience and help them to cope during an emotional and at times uncertain journey. Support like Bravery Beads that recognise the strength and courage that kids show each procedure or treatment in hospital.

Your support of Bike 4 Burns in 2024 can ensure researchers and clinicians can trial revolutionary new treatments and change the way kids are treated for burns across the state, and the country.

It is only with this generous support that kids with burns can have access to the best possible care and treatment available both today and into the future.
