I'm riding in Pedal the Map in memory of my Dad, Gary, and to make a difference for people living with dementia!

This November I’m challenging myself to raise funds to support people with dementia.

My contribution will help complete a lap around the world!

Please help me reach my goal by making a donation. It only takes a minute and any amount you can give will go a long way to fund medical and social research and support the vital services, support groups and education programs that Dementia Australia provides to people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Thank you for your support

My Updates

The Granddad Section

Monday 18th Oct
My son and I have a special section of our ride home that climbs up to our house.  At this stage, for privacy, Strava recording is off and we are usually pretty tired given there is a bit of elevation to get to our house.  We call it the Granddad section because no one sees or records our efforts but we find another gear and give it 110% on the climb anyway.  No matter what the circumstance, in sports or in general life, dad could always find that next gear and dig in for a 110% effort.  He did this even when no one was looking.  This has always inspired me while he was alive and even now after he has passed, the look on his face, determined, set, teeth clenched, with a bit of fire in his eye will always be a picture in my mind as I take on the Grandad sections that I come across in life and on the bike.  I'm looking forward to riding next month and I appreciate so many of you contributing your money to this effort.  Hopefully this little note inspires you to find the 110% when you need it most and to enjoy a cold beer - or ginger/root beer (if you would rather an NA option)when the hard work is done.

Thank you for your gift
