Amy Gillet Foundation - Giving Day 2021
24 May 2021....Established in 2006, the AGF has evolved to become the leading cycling safety organisation in Australia, driven by a core mission to reduce the death and injury of cyclists. AGF Board Member and Squadra cyclist, Justin Williams said, "Squadra's $500 donation will be doubled on Giving Day and will go towards investments in research, education and advocacy - everything we do is to make it safe for people to ride home to what’s important. Thank you Squadra"

Tassie circumnavigation (virtual ride during COVID-19)
I’ve finished the 1,040km Tassie loop (in first place). Thanks for all your generous donations. I ended up doubling my fundraising target to $2,080, and achieved 105% of my target with a final total raised of $2,180. The money will all go to St Giles, which provides disability support services throughout Tasmania (https://www.stgiles.org.au/). The ride itself is organised and run by Yvette Fuser & her business Maglia Nera all free of charge, so 100% of funds raised go to the charity - Amazing!
