The five-day ride will begin in Newcastle on 20 October 2021 and conclude in Bathurst on 24 October 2021.

C3 Cyclists president Steve Dunstall said the team will aim to raise $100,000 for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation.

"Through the Humpty Dumpty Foundation in 2021, we are aiming to donate medical equipment to Queanbeyan Hospital and Health Service, Bathurst Health Service, Orange Health Service, and Cowra Health Service to help improve and potentially save children's lives," Mr Dunstall said.

"We're raising the bar significantly this year because there's so much more we can do to help children and their families who urgently need this equipment."

Mr Dunstall said the team's last ride in 2019 saw four regional hospitals receive much-needed medical equipment, including Tamworth Hospital [$7310], John Hunter Children's Hospital [$12,400], Bathurst Base Hospital [$11,800] and Maitland Hospital [$9080].

"We have raised approximately $50,000 each from the previous four rides, which is a great achievement," he said.

VERTO has again jumped on board as a corporate sponsor, alongside Pushys, Energy & Management Services, Craggspace Architecture, Advisio, and Today's Plan.

"This is a wonderful initiative, and VERTO is very proud to play a small part in helping the C3 Cyclists on this gruelling but important journey," VERTO chief executive officer Ron Maxwell said.
