kms

My target 700 kms

I’m riding in Pedal the Map 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 two laps 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

I did it - with help!

Sunday 27th Nov
Thanks to Ross H, Peter K, Rosemary H and Tony A for riding the final kms so that I could reach my goal of 700 km - in fact they overachieved and the final tally was 785km with $979 raised.  
Dementia can affect anyone and most of us will know someone who is directly impacted either as a sufferer, carer or close family member/friend.
The Challenge was therefore a great way to support a very worthwhile cause and I would happily do it again - next time without injuring myself

Update / week 3

Tuesday 22nd Nov
What an early end  to week 3 of the challenge - was going well having cycled 515 km towards my 700 km challenge when I came off my bike on Saturday and dislocated my elbow - ouch indeed.  Totally my fault which is even more frustrating.
Op to fix has gone well so I’m now in recovery mode.
Look forward to riding again in the New Year.

Week 2 completed - going strong

Tuesday 15th Nov
I’m looking like I could exceed my challenge of 700km this month as I’ve already clocked up 396 km - week 3 starts tomorrow.  The weather has been all over the place so I’ve had to take opportunities to ride when the rain/wind disappears.

Week 1 done!

Tuesday 8th Nov
Thanks go to my amazing sponsors - so far I’ve raised $473 for dementia research and support services.

I’ve managed 200 km during the first week so I’m on track to meet my goal of 700 km by the end of the month.

If you feel like you can help this cause any donation would be greatly appreciated.

Rain rain go away

Sunday 30th Oct
2 days to go to official start of Pedal the Map during November.  Weather forecast is dreary and I hate riding in the rain so hoping for some sun on Tuesday

Thank you for your gift
