Ortho Sistas 2025

  • Together we can do great things

    ORTHO SISTAS started as a team back in 2014. A few orthopaedic nurses who first rode the 200km together. From then we have grown to 30 + riders this year!

    Since 2014 our community team has raised over $850,000 for cancer research at the Perkins with the help of many, who have been so generous with donations and supporting our many and varied fundraisers.

    You don't have to be a nurse to join our team, just have the passion to do great things and join us on this incredible journey either as a rider or supporter.

    There is nothing as powerful as a group of people mobilised behind a deeply personal cause that drives them to achieve things they thought impossible.

    Our cause is cancer, and we are committed to supporting the world-class cancer researchers at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to drive discoveries to help our friends and family battling this terrible disease now and in the future.

    Please help us, help the Perkins by donating to our team.

  • Your Impact

    So far this year we helped provide...

A beautiful human, incredible nurse and wonderful friend. My inspiration to do this ride to contribute to research to improve outcomes for those living with cancer. Thank you for acknowledging Kayla in our rides, for understanding the importance she has in motivating me to ride. This year you have more motivation than ever as we also ride for JG. For everything you do for others……it does not go unnoticed - you are one very special lady. 🩷👏🏻🙏🚴🏻‍♀️
