Honouring Amy’s legacy
The Amy Gillett Foundation was established in 2005 in memory of Amy Gillett OLY, a talented Australian cyclist who tragically lost her life in a road accident.
Our foundation is dedicated to reducing the incidence of cycling-related deaths and injuries in Australia, because Amy's story is sadly not unique.
Since Amy's tragic death in 2005, there have been over 800 more deaths on Australian roads, involving cyclists and motorists.
Damion Drapac, Jason Lowndes, Gurmantar Gill, Nicholas Sky, Chris Baker, Angus Collins, Stephen Jelfs, John Dennis, Alicia Celaya Jauregui, Rebekka Meyer, Mardi Bartlett.
They are more than just names, they were people with families, friends, communities, who will forever grieve their loss.
For Amy, for them all, we work tirelessly to change the situation on Australian roads.
