Riding to raise funds to fight dementia

  • Reached my goal

      30 November 2014

    WOW a massive thank you to everyone that has supported me by donating. I've reached my goal of raising $1000 for the Otago Branch of the NZ Altzheimers society. I feel very humbled that so many people took the time to donate money and support me. I know my Dad would be very proud that we have given back to the organisation that provided him and mum with support when they needed it most. Thank you Craig

  • Made it

      30 November 2014

    well I made it around the lake. I got to 40km's and had back spasms but managed to keep going. There were showers and a strong headwind up to around the 100km mark but once I got to Turangi the end was in sight and with all those that had donated I was determined to finish. The last 40kms flew by and it was a very welcome sight to see the finish line.

  • Amazing.....Half way to my goal

      24 November 2014

    Firstly, a massive thank you to all of you that have donated so far I cannot believe in such a short time that I am half way to my goal already. I went to the Osteopath on Saturday morning to try and get my back pain sorted. Thanks Jesse. Today its been sore again but at least I was able to get out on the bike yesterday and do a 30km hill training ride. Big thanks to Al for helping me put my new rear cassette and chain on the bike. Only 5 more days to go.
