Why am I doing this?
I will be setting off on an around the world bicycle trip, with a projected start date of the 25th of July, 2026 (now restarting on the 5th of October). This trip will span all continents, with the exception of Antarctica. I doubt that I’ll ever have the money to make the trip down there – unless someone’s willing to sponsor me, that is! Apart from doing this trip for the fun of it (why do it otherwise), I will be cycling for FightMND.
- FightMND. FightMND is an Australian foundation at the forefront of funding research into finding a cure of Motor Neurone Disease (MND), also known as Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. It is a degenerative disease which attacks the neurones (nerve cells) that control muscles that allow us to move around, swallow and even breath. It’s a terminal disease for which there is currently no cure. There are also no truly effective treatments. There is a cure out there, but it has to be found. To do that, money is always required to fund the necessary research.
