Support the cause

On the 5th October, I started cycling from Sydney (SCG) to Melbourne (MCG) to raise funds and awareness in the fight against MND (Motor Neurone Disease), also known as ALS, on behalf of FightMND. On the 6th day, I had to abandon it, due to a recurring knee injury. Even though I'm no longer riding, you can still donate to this cause, which is very close to my heart. To do that, click on the 'Donate to FightMND' button, below, to go to my Everyday Hero donation page.

Planning an around the world bicycle trip, starting 2022, for @fightmnd. Loves travel, railways, and the @gwsgiants. #NeverSurrender

Instagram post 2186260476681581394_331411145 Five years ago, today, the cricketing world lost a talented batsman - Phillip Hughes. You will never be forgotten. #63NotOut #408 #PhilHughes #63NotOutForever
Instagram post 2181938226964954275_331411145 Time to start reading this book. 🙂 @fightmnd
Instagram post 2151342412471314477_331411145 Abandoned, due to a reoccurring knee injury. Not the way I wanted to end this ride. The first twinge surfaced on Monday (day 3), and made itself known much more yesterday. Too sore to ride on, and now at Blayney railway station. Disappointed, as FightMND is a cause I feel very passionate about.
Instagram post 2150495299453594055_331411145 Day 5 of Cycle Against the Beast for @fightmnd. A new course. Due to running several days behind schedule, I no longer have the time to do my original planned route. It's going to be a little more of a direct route, now. Today, I'm cycling to Blayney, and tomorrow it's on to Cowra. Please continue to donate. The link is in my bio (on Instagram), and there are a few posted links on my Facebook page. .
