My Story
Hi There
As you may be aware I have been involved with a cycling group called Bondi 2 Berry which surprisingly enough has an annual ride from Bondi to Berry. This is a charity ride of about 155km to raise funds and develop an awareness of dementia. This was started by two main characters and has been going since it's inception back in 2016.
The event takes place on Saturday 19 November this year and this will be the fifth time that I have ridden it. The group of people that are involved are really great so it has been lots of fun while also having a significant purpose of raising hard earned cash.
The organisers have also run a couple of extended multiple day events with the first being Bondi 2 Brighton, Victoria ( not near San Sousi ) in 2019 and then Bondi to the Blue Mountains in 2021.
The plan for the next multiple day event is the Bondi 2 Barossa ride which is 1400km across the Hay Plain over a 9 day period and foolishly I have signed myself up for it. I have never done a multiple day event like this however I reckon that if I don't do it now I never will. Having driven to Kangaroo island on multiple occasions I know this road pretty well and I can confirm it's a long way. At least we'll finish up in a vineyard so there will be some rehydration to happen.
So having given you the back story lets get down to business!
I had set myself a fund raising target of $10K however through the incredible generosity of lots of people I have passed this figure and have upped my target to be $20K. If possible it would be great if you could please help me by making a donation through my page at the following address:

It only takes a minute and any money you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to helping me reach my target. It is also tax deductible.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support and by you contributing it means that I cannot get out of the event.
All the very best
Andy
