Accident and Health International CEO Peter Banks is taking part in a mammoth cycle ride for charity for the second year running.

He has joined 20 riders in the Tour de Chance on a challenging 1300km journey from Melbourne to Sydney through the Snowy Mountains.

Tour de Chance raises funds for Fighting Chance, a non-profit organisation that helps young adults with disabilities.

This year $321,000 of the $500,000 target has already been raised, but more donations are needed.

The money will fund three new work hubs, improving quality of life for 180 disabled people.

“The legs are a bit sore but we’ll get there eventually, it’s all for a great cause,” Mr Banks said. Click here to support his efforts with a donation.
