I'm raising funds for people with dementia!
I'm
raising funds for people with dementia. Like many
families, ours has been affected by dementia in recent years. My wife,
Heather, is also working daily to care for people living with dementia.
I am taking
part in the Puffing Billy "Classic", running against the iconic steam
train. The route is 13.5 km of hills from Belgrave to Emerald, near Melbourne,
and my goal is to finish the course.

But I need your help! Please make a donation to support my
efforts and help me reach my goal to beat dementia.
All funds raised will support the work of
Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with
dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling,
support groups, education and training.
Thank you for your support.

Puffing Billy run complete!
Sunday 10th Sep Thank you to everyone for your support! I'm very happy to say that I completed the Puffing Billy train run today. I managed it with a decent time of 1hr 17min for 13.7km, in perfect, cool morning conditions for the hilly course.
Not long to wait...

I hope you'll be tracing an anharmonic potential and not a harmonic one as you go out from the origin. Love this run - good luck and enjoy!
