Brothers Cycle to Australia for Charity
6 May
Summary
- Two brothers are cycling from Devon to Australia.
- They aim to raise £1,000 for suicide bereavement charity Pete's Dragons.
- The journey is expected to take 11 months to a year.
Brothers Bobby and Conrad Saunders commenced an extraordinary cycling expedition from Crediton, Devon, on April 12, 2026. Their ambitious route aims to reach Australia, with the primary objective of raising funds for the suicide bereavement charity Pete's Dragons. The siblings are dedicating their journey to supporting the charity, which was founded by Alison Jordan after her brother's death.
This extensive journey is anticipated to span approximately 11 months to a year. The brothers have factored in a three-week pause to attend their sister's wedding during this period. They have already exceeded their initial fundraising goal of £1,000, having raised £1,770 so far, with hopes for further contributions as they continue their travels.
Their voyage began with a cycle to Plymouth, followed by an overnight ferry to Roscoff in France. From there, their route to Australia was established by setting main cities as goals and identifying stops along the way, as a direct route could not be found. The brothers are documenting their experience daily on social media.
