I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

Hi! My Dad (Neil) and I are going to be doing a lot of cycling this month to raise money to help people with dementia.

Why have we chosen this fundraiser to be the thing that we raise money for, well: as many of us have been, our family has been affected by dementia, my Nana, Dad's mum, suffers from it.

We had set a relatively low target at first, as it is our first time actively participating in a fundraiser. We quickly smashed that and are now aiming a bit higher! We continue to be very grateful for all of your support.

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.

We did it!

Wednesday 7th Dec
Firstly, a massive thank you to everybody who donated, supported us and made this whole thing possible. We are very pleased to be able to donate over $1000 to Dementia Australia, close to 5 times our original goal!

Secondly, a big thank you to Dad for joining me on this endeavour, could not have done it without you.

Once again, thank you all!

New Goal

Thursday 3rd Nov
Wow, thank you!

Dad and I are blown away at how quickly we smashed our original goal of $250! A massive thank you to everyone who has contributed thus far.
We have raised our goal to one more ambitious of $1000 - of which we are just over 60% of the way there.

Looking forward to getting the wheels spinning for more km's and donations!

Hi Oli and Neil, Great effort for such a worthwhile cause. Let’s hope research will bring some good treatment alternatives and thus better support for individuals and their loved ones. Counselling is so important to understand what is going on and to assist all family members. Art therapy helps as well.
