WHY IT MATTERS
A CHANCE TO LEAVE
A LASTING IMPACT
For over 20 years Chain Reaction has been supporting children’s charities and leaving a lasting impact on children and their families. This year we are proud to be continuing to support two incredible children’s charities whose impact continues to inspire our riders year after year.
In 2026, the funds raised will help Monash Children’s Hospital purchase vital respiratory equipment to save the lives of newborns, and support the Starlight Children’s Foundation’s Starlight Express Room and Captain Starlight Programs.
Together, these charity partners represent the heart of what Chain Reaction is all about - riding with purpose to give kids the chance to live healthier, happier lives.
