Give what you can people!
Posted 74 days ago
It was my 250 parkrun Saturday 26 October which I did at Carisbrooke where it all started back in June 2018. Since then I've completed all SA parkrun and different 13 interstate ones. I'd not run for decades & now I've run numerous half marathons, podium finished in all of them for my age group, plus other 5k & 10k runs.
HOWEVER
This month every year for the past 9 years I've also cycled for Children's Cancer Research raising awareness and funds of nearly $25,000.
I need your help, I'm $578 short of achieving that target at the moment.
Pleased if you can, donate as below, or just follow my progress.
Share my page to your friends and family.
100% of the funds go towards the research, no admin, no road closures or event costs. Tax deductible.
Give what you can people!
Did 72km this morning, at least we had sunshine even if it was a bit windy. Only 939 to go but more importantly we've raised over $900! Thanks everyone, keep the $ coming in.
Remember $50+ donation gets you into the raffle draw.
October is fast approaching & I'm running late to start my request for donations.
This year I'm planning on riding 1012 km & to raise $3610 to help people like Sienna here.
It's time to concentrate on the October challenge Charity ride with Mclaren Vale 10k run in the middle of it.
Normally I have done the half marathon however with World Multi Sports Championships being on this year & it's longest run was 10k I dropped all my races to be the same.
Anyway, just a reminder that I'm riding 1021km & hope to raise $3610 ($724 raised already so only $2886 to go!)
Sienna is just one of the many children who we are riding & raising the funds for so please donate what you can, every little bit helps.
Every week we loose 3 children to cancer & it needs to stop!

Well my challenge is starting off with World Championships at Townsville QLD in Duathlon, in both the Sprint & Standard this month. They are a Run-Bike-Run event, Sprint is 5-20-2.5km & the Standard 10-40-5km on Friday 16th & Sunday 18th.
I'll be wearing the Green & Gold as part of the Australian Team in my Age Category, something I never thought possible until recent years, a few years after starting to ride for GCC when I added running to my fitness.
So jump on board, make a donation or take up the challenge yourself, it's free & for a great cause.
Cheers
