Fundraising for Alice's cancer treatment, and raising awareness of lung cancer in New Zealand

Bay Of Plenty, Western Bay of Plenty District

A workmate of mine, Alice Taylor, is battling with adenocarcenoma (lung cancer). It’s rare and aggressive and unfortunately cannot be cured.

Her cancer is being treated with a type of chemotherapy, which is so far doing a great job of giving Alice more time to make memories with her family. Unfortunately her next chemotherapy type is currently unfunded in New Zealand.

To allow Alice to continue her treatment, and to raise awareness of lung cancer, I'll be fundraising via a battle of my own: trying to cover 200km under my own steam within 48 hours.

Starting on Friday 11th of November, this will take me from the shores of Lake Rotoiti to Tauranga, the Kaimai ranges, Waihi and finally to Thames.

I won't make it easy, as Alice's challenge certainly isn't, so it will be offroad as much of possible, using mountain biking, kayaking and hiking to cross the entire Western Bay of Plenty and Hauraki districts.

Please donate what you can to help Alice and her beautiful family fight this disease for as long as she can. Thank you for your generosity, kindness and support.

It's done!  13 November 2022

Success!!

After 46 hours and 10 minutes we rolled into Thames. We had thunderstorms, torrential rain, blocked and flooded tracks, rockfall, two bike breakages and a wasp sting. We got lost, we found ourselves, and we covered 200km under our own steam within 48 hours.

I say 'we' as really there wasn't anything I did that wasn't supported by friends, family and by everyone who contributed to this awesome cause, giving me a reason to keep going.

Alice and I can't thank you enough.
