I’m going the distance to change the lives of country kids!

On Sunday 17 March I’ll be setting off from Merimbula to cycle over 330km to Cobargo to raise vital funds to support the developmental and mental health of Australia’s country kids.

For these kids, a positive trajectory in life can be at risk if they can't access the right care at the right time, simply because of where they live. Those of us living in cities and larger towns rarely appreciate all the facilities available to us right on our doorstep.

I want to make a difference, so I’m going the distance to close the health gap for country kids. I’m riding to help raise $600,000 for country kids who are struggling with developmental and mental health needs to get them access to the critical assessments, services and support they need to thrive. 

You can help me achieve this by making a donation via this page AND by helping to spread the word by sharing my page. Every dollar of your donation – no matter how large or small - adds up to truly make a difference for country kids. Your gift will be directly support vulnerable country kids by connecting them to the vital healthcare services and support they urgently need.

THANK YOU so much for your support!  It really means a lot to me!

Double days training

Monday 5th Feb
Team mate Fi and I smashed the hills this weekend with just 6 weeks to go.
Saturday was over 1000m of climbing in 3&1/2 hrs out to Bobbin Head in Kur-ring-gai Chase national park.
Sunday we rode another 2hrs+ and 800m of climbing through Akuna and out to West Head.
The training is starting to pay off and backing it up wasn’t as awful as we thought it would be!
Grateful to all those who have supported us with donations in their various forms.
Thankyou

Training underway and 8 weeks to go!

Wednesday 17th Jan
So it’s 6 weeks in since I began increasing cycling volume and hills again. It’s been a while! The back is suffering and already been to the physio but hopefully some strength work will sort that out and see me through. 
Right now I can’t imagine cycling for 6+ hours a day for 3 days with all the hills on the route when I am exhausted after 3 hours on a Saturday morning but I’m sure it will get easier (I hope!) and also planning lots of fundraising activities too on the side!

Thank you to my Sponsors
