Welcome to Phils 'Adventure For Dementia' page

It’s an Adventure For Dementia....

As some of you may know, my family lost our Mum to dementia in July this year. This has added to my motivation to ride my bicycle just over 1000 k’s along the coast from Adelaide to Melbourne in November, solo. I’m jumping in to help raise funds for Dementia Australia.

Dementia Australia have created an Australia wide challenge called ‘Pedal the Map’. Other cyclists are also being sponsored during the month of November to count the number of k’s ridden. Along with others, my contribution will help complete two laps around the world….that’s 80,000 km’s!

Please help me reach my goal of $3,600 by making a tax deductible donation, as all funds raised go directly to Dementia Australia. It only takes a minute and any amount you give will go a long way to fund medical & social research & support the vital services, support groups & education programs that Dementia Australia provides to people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Thank’s for your support, great work Guys! 

Check out my gallery below from my Brisbane to Melbourne tour I did in November/December 2000. 2,534 km's, 6 1/2 weeks, 4 flat tyres, 2 sore buns...

I'm Right On to Ride On!
