Fundraise for CERA
Here are a few ways you can help support our world-leading research through fundraising.
Lions Ride for Sight
For over 20 years, Lions District 201V3 has been raising money for CERA through their annual Lions Ride for Sight – a multi-day endurance cycling event in Gippsland.
Over its history, the Ride for Sight has raised more than $1 million to support CERA’s vital research and participants have collectively pedalled more 9000 km – the equivalent of cycling from Melbourne to Broome and back!
CERA greatly appreciates the incredible support of all of the riders, donors and Lions District 201V3 volunteers over the history of the event.
