Nūl Peace Ride 2026

One island. One thread.
Many hearts weaving it back together.

Hi, I’m Izzy. I grew up in the regional town of Armidale, NSW, before moving to Newcastle in 2020 to study a Bachelor of Social Science and anthropology. After graduating in 2023, my partner and I spent two years in Canada on a working holiday visa. During that time, we completed two seasons of tree planting in the Canadian wilderness and worked on an elk rehabilitation program in Golden, British Columbia.
When I returned home, I started my postgrad in Social change and development and alongside this, was seeking opportunities that went into translating what I had been learning into lived experience.
The Peace Ride resonated deeply with me as a chance to be part of a truth telling process and to learn from communities firsthand.
I am always up for a physical challenge, so at the moment I’m training to ride 1000km in July across 22 days. Whilst this part will be challenging I am also motivated by the opportunity to listen, learn, and stand in solidarity with Sri Lankan communities in a way that envisions a future decided upon by and for Sri Lankan identities.
In solidarity, I am motivated to raise $5000 for the development of a community eco-hub that will contribute to local economic opportunities, social cohesion and sustainability. Any amount donated will help to make an impact. Thank you!
