About the Event
This June, Ride For The Living (RFTL) returns in a big way!
March of the Living Australia is proud to partner with the RFTL Global Challenge, a unique program that combines Holocaust education and commemoration with fitness to challenge participants to engage their bodies, souls, and minds.
