INNOVYNC SUPPORTS BONDI2BERRY, ALL ASSOCIATED MULTI DAY RIDES AND HAS BEEN A MAJOR SPONSOR SINCE 2016
We are riding to raise awareness of dementia
Co-founders Nick and Pierre have first-hand experience with the disease. Both of Nick’s grandmothers passed away after suffering from dementia and Nick’s father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2011 and sadly passed away in Aug 2022. Pierre’s mother was diagnosed in 2015 and also sadly passed away in 2019.
Their personal experiences, as well as those of many of their close friends, prompted the guys to use their passion for cycling to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure for this terrible disease.
Innovync is and has been a Major sponsor of Bondi2Berry since its inception in 2016. We have also sponsored every multi-day ride. Thank you for supporting our ride, you are helping to make a difference.
Leading cause of death
Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australians contributing to 5.4% of all deaths in males and 10.6% in females yearly. Dementia is the leading cause of death among Australian females, surpassing heart disease which has been the leading cause of death for males and females since the early 20th century.
Australians living with dementia
There is an estimated 459,000 Australians living with dementia and without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase to 590,000 by 2028 and 1,076,000 by 2058.

Currently an estimated 250 people are joining the population with dementia each day. The number of new cases of dementia will increase to 318 people per day by 2025 and more than 650 people by 2056. Three in 10 people over the age of 85 and almost one in 10 people over 65 have dementia
