Join the Wheelie Awesome Wheel-a-thon and Help Change Lives
The Wheelie Awesome Wheel-a-thon is a fun and flexible community fundraiser that encourages individuals, clubs, schools, businesses, and organisations to raise money through anything wheel-related.
Whether you’re riding a bicycle, motorcycle, mobility device, classic car, race car, scooter, skateboard, or anything else on wheels, you can turn your passion into positive change. Every kilometre travelled and every dollar raised helps support ACET and the young people who benefit from Conductive Education.
If you’re looking for a unique charity fundraising idea, the Wheelie Awesome Wheel-a-thon is a fantastic way to bring people together while making a real difference.
What is the Wheelie Awesome Wheel-a-thon?
The Wheelie Awesome Wheel-a-thon is an annual fundraising campaign that gives communities the freedom to create their own wheel-themed fundraising event.
There are no minimum distances or fundraising targets. Your event can be as simple as a collection at a club night or as ambitious as a large community event, charity ride, or month-long distance challenge.
Every fundraiser helps raise awareness of Conductive Education while providing vital funding to support young people accessing ACET’s programmes.

Take on a Wheel Challenge
Looking for a fun team challenge?
Set a collective distance goal during Wheelie Awesome Wheel-a-thon month.
Can your team complete:

• 1,000 km?
• 5,000 km?
• Even more?
Those kilometres can be completed on bicycles, motorcycles, classic cars, race cars, mobility devices, wheelchairs, scooters, or almost anything with wheels.
