Testimonials

“After many years involvement with Hartley and the Cycle Challenge, I continue to find it both fun and fulfilling. It’s heartening to know that I have played a part in helping raise awareness of the many issues confronting people with disability – and also much needed funds to provide respite, community and accommodation services”
