I'm Riding For

Kathleen Froud

Kathleen was my best friend in primary school. We did everything together. Shortly after I moved away she was diagnosed with Lymphoma. She passed away in 1999.

My Story

18 Sep 2025

We are onto year 6 of the Great Cycle Challenge. It is now something that I look forward to doing every year. Each years goal is different but the motivation stays the same. Kids should be out living life, not fighting for it. Donate what you can, and if you can't just send me words of encouragement!

I pledge to ride a 100km day again (God help me!) But only if I get a $100 dollar donation from someone!!
