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

28 Sep 2021

Some of you may remember that I did this way back in 2014. I managed a massive 42km and $500 raised. This year I am upping the stakes! Now that the whole family is a little bike mad and we have a trainer for indoor riding I thought why not? I started with a 100km goal. But then realized that if I did 25km twice a week then I would be well over that. So I upped the goal to 225km. We'll see how it goes. I may have to up it again but we'll wait and see.

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