The Academy students complete a fundraising bike ride for Ladder

8 students from The Academy cycled a combined 267kms in one day to raise awareness and fundraise for Ladder. Due to restrictions, they rode locally around their individual 5km bubble and kept each other in high spirits by encouraging other and posting their journey on their social media along the way.

"We chose to support Ladder because when reading about their cause, we were just blown away with the amount of opportunities they can give troubled young people like ourselves and I think that really hit home with us" - Harrison, The Academy student and fundraiser

Ladder is so thankful and humbled by their huge effort and support again this year. Their donation will go towards Ladder's youth development and mentoring programs for young people who are experiencing disadvantage across Australia.
