Can you Believe It?

It’s a common conversational opener – declaring our surprise about something.

Can you believe that today is the last day of October? Hasn’t it just flown past.

Can you believe that this month my family have cycled over 1,100kms in total and swam over 16kms.

Can you believe that the Ballarat Pathfinder Club on the Great Cycle Challenge started the month with 5 participants with a goal to ride 1,000kms and to raise $1,000 and has ended up with 9 participants and a combined goal of 2,400kms. Each participant sets an individual goal which are all added together to create our team goal and as of last night our goals were achieved with 2,448kms and we have raised $3,815!

This team has been amazing and while some on the team have been sick and unable to ride, others have been putting in to ensure that as a team our targets are all meet. That’s what a great team does. 7 of the team members rode the Ballarat to Skipton Rail Trail on Sunday, setting a record speed and pushing themselves to ride their best!

I’d like to call your attention to one young man on our team. He only joined in the last few weeks of this month and set himself a goal of 300kms. With 5 days to go he still had 200kms to ride. As of this morning - he only has 24kms left – he has ridden on average 40 kms every day! Can you believe it!

If you are still looking to support someone this month, please support this young man as, obviously he hasn’t had a chance to raise much money personally.

Otherwise if you want to continue to give, Abi would love your support via her breast cancer swimming challenge.
