Griffith University's Sommer Tuson and 20 colleagues are expected to finish a 900km cycle from the Gold Coast to Sydney on Wednesday, in support of Cystic Fibrosis.
Ms Tuson graduates with a double degree in physiotherapy and exercise science later this year and has been living with Cystic Fibrosis for 27 years.
She says her childhood experiences with physiotherapists influenced her choice of study, as they play an import role in the daily management of the disease.
The group will cross the finish line at the Children's Hospital at Westmead at 2pm.

Organic Federation Andre Leu Chairperson says the research shows a poor awareness of the majority of certification symbols.
