I’m incredibly proud to share that I’ve completed my ride from Melbourne to Adelaide 770 km over 6 days and 39 hours of active riding. This journey was far from easy. I faced countless magpie swoops and muscle cramps, and I often found myself on the side of the road, pushing through exhaustion. But through it all, I felt the power of our community lifting me up.
With your support, we not only reached our goal but exceeded it, raising a staggering $12,000 to help kids battling cancer. I am beyond grateful to everyone who donated, sent messages, and cheered me on. Knowing that I had your support made all the difference it kept me going when things got tough, and it reminded me that this effort was about so much more than just a ride.
The pain I experienced over these six days is nothing compared to the struggles these brave kids face. If riding this distance means we can help ease their burden even a little, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for showing what we can achieve when we come together. This accomplishment belongs to all of us.
Massive Shoutout to all my sponsors who help me along the way, and Glen for being my support driver along the way, you helped me immensely and I appreciate that more than words can say
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR FOR SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER❤️❤️
