The Bike 4 Burns charity bike ride is an initiative of the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) Wellness Program.

Bike 4 Burns aims to raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Burns Centre and to promote awareness of the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service Wellness Program. Since the ride’s inception in 2007, over $90,000 has been raised to support the Burns Centre at the Royal Children’s Hospital.

In May 2009, 37 cyclists from QFRS took part in the annual Bike 4 Burns charity ride from Bundaberg to Brisbane and raised much needed funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Burns Centre.

Following the outstanding success of the 2009 event, the 2010 charity ride promises to be even better.    The ride is not only a chance to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Burns Centre. It also raises the profile of the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service Wellness Program which is a combination of physical and educational activities designed to improve and monitor the occupational health and fitness of firefighters, thus improving the ability of those personnel to respond to incidents safely and effectively.
