Riding for Redcliffe: A Marathon with Meaning

A driving force behind ‘Raise it for Redcliffe Hospital’ fundraising has been Redcliffe Hospital Director of Research and Medical Education, Dr Joel Dulhunty. An avid cyclist, Dr Dulhunty held two major fundraising events during 2021.

In April, Dr Dulhunty and wife Naoni set the pace when they rode 2500 km from Cairns to Brisbane to raise funds for a proposed Senior Nurse Researcher position. Dr Dulhunty then followed up with an ambitious 500km Penny Farthing fundraising marathon for Giving Day.

His efforts personally helped generate more than $23,000 and leveraged a further $103,000 to secure the inaugural three-year Senior Nursing Researcher position.
