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.

"Media Tart"
This is such a funny page - full of lots of giggles for everyone at my expense!! This sort of thing is certainly not "me"  - BUT - if it raises awareness of the ride and therefore more funds for the Heart Foundation that's the main thing and what it is all about!! As this website is to be a complete record of my trip,I am therefore adding links where I can!! Enjoy the page - have a good laugh!!!!!
