Cure Kids Fiji 500

Location:

The Cure Kids Fiji 500, has raised more than $150,000 FJD for the Cure Kids Fiji Oxygen Program after circumnavigating Viti Levu. The Reddy Foundation are proud to have supported rider Chris Hutchinson with a $2k FJD donation.


Both the people and the country were beautiful.  Cycling through villages which appeared to have very little in material wealth but an abundance of happiness was humbling.  Everywhere school kids and adults alike would be going nuts shouting Bula and high fiving us, running along beside us in bare feet with infectious enthusiasm.

We got to see the equipment previous trips had purchased in medical centres and meet the wonderful people using it.  In one medical centre, serving a large rural area the doctor explained to me that everything was high on the walls because it flooded to over chest height each year and that they had lost most of their staff to New Zealand and Australia, but their determination to serve their community was inspiring.

We are honoured to be involved in the restart of this incredible event, which has been on pause for five years due to Covid. Here's to riding together in 2025.
