Trying to make good from sad.
Nationwide
I'm cycling the length of Aotearoa to mark the 10th anniversary of Darryl "Big D" Hendersons suicide. Darryl wanted to raise funds for his favored charity (IHC) by walking the length of NZ when he was 50 years young. Sadly he passed at the age of 49 after losing a battle with depression.
Ride takes place mid March to mid April, and l am riding with Kara and Keith who are also fund raising.
This rides for you, my beloved Brother ❤️
I'm proud to be fund raising for IHC in your name 🌟
Seven day extension. 30 April 2023
There has been a request to extend closing this givealittle page for seven days. It was due to close today.
My update;
It's already been two weeks today since completing the Tour Aotearoa cycle challenge.
I got to spend two precious days with Tayla and Jake (Darryl and Debbie's daughter and son) and their respective families in Southland. Even got a farm tour form my great nephew Hudson in their ute 👶 before flying home.
The next five days were spent resting 😴 my body!
My bike was discarded in the corner of the shed for this time 😄
I did give it a birthday last Sunday and have ridden every morning Monday through Friday) on our normal route in New Plymouth. This is 45km every morning, starting at 5.30am and end with a coffee stop ☕️😀
This will be my morning routine through to at least spring.
Have been overwhelmed with everyone's generosity and genuine interest and support for this givealittle page and the ride. 👏 🫶 🙌
No brain explosions 🤯 yet on what, if anything I'll attempt next time 🤔🫣😉
I will do a final post next Sunday before closing off page.
Love to all ❤️
