All funds raised during my ride across Australia went to either the Australian or New Zealand Heart Foundation depending on the donor’s wish. It was a thrill to be named Best Individual Fund-raiser for 2011 by the Queensland Branch of the Australian Heart Foundation. Special thanks to EVERYONE who supported my ride.

THE TRIP IN REVIEW

I sat on the bike and pedalled the pedals - but it certainly could not have happened without the support of so many. 

Of course it would have been impossible without the totally dedicated support and hard-work of Pat - she was fantastic throughout the journey - thanks for making my wild idea a reality Pat!!!!
 
To the "team" that looked after our house and grounds while we were away - that too was very important to us and allowed us to me away with out a worry.

To those of you who sent me emails of support during my ride and / or commented on facebook - THANKS - they were a great help - made me smile, made me laugh, lightened things up when the going got tough!!

To everyone who has supported my effort by donating to the Heart Foundation - THANK-YOU!!!

There are three special pages on this website that need special mention here too - do visit their websites, buy their products, use their services - please, wherever possible support these guys. I can't put into words how their support has helped me - they were brilliant!!!
