I will, however, be starting a week before, as I cycle from Sydney to Ungarie. To donate, click on the button below to go to my donation page.

In just under four weeks time, I will be joining a In just under four weeks time, I will be joining a group raising funds and awareness for @FightMND​, as we cycle our way from Ungarie to Windy Hill (about 737 km). In less than three weeks time, I will start cycling from @ourscg​ to get to Ungarie (about 514 km) to join them! Add on a final 14 km (to reach my own personal destination of the @MCG​, I will be cycling a total of 1265 km. I will be taking my laptop with me, so expect some updates while I'm on the road. 🙂 . . I'm taking things a little more relaxed through the mountains, this time, having learnt from a few mistakes I made in October (a failure sets you up for the next success). The bonus is that I won't have to carry my own luggage for the Ungarie to Windy Hill part! To donate, click on the link in my bio. My target is (AUD) $1000. . . #MNDCanGetStuffed #PedalCure4FightMND #MND #ALS #CyclingLife #OutsideIsFree #LifeBehindBars
