On Tuesday morning we had the Bondi2Brighton bike riding team visit our school. The team of 28 riders are travelling down the coast, from Sydney to Melbourne. Their goal is to raise awareness about dementia and fundraise $200,000! 

It was such a great presentation for our students, who listened to personal stories of why they are doing this bike ride. It was also a lot of fun and our students all received a frisbee and bike ride. Did you know that bike riding releases serotonin and dopamine, which improve mood and reduce stress? Research has also found that exercise like bike riding improves brain health, thinking and reduces disease like dementia. Makes me want to go out and ride my bike!
