Help me support kids in need (and beat a world champion in my fundraising!)
I have signed up again to push myself to the limit riding 1000km over hilly terrain - probably with rain - all to support children and families. The ventilators we are hoping to fund will support newborns and children with crticial illness at Monash Children's Hospital as we care for them. As they recover, we hope they will be brightened up by the Starlight Captains. I may not be fast enough to beat Grace Brown (ITT gold medallist and world champion 2024) but I hope to beat her in fundraising. Please donate to support me in my quest.My Activity Tracking

First generous donation (from a potential future CFO)
This week, an enterprisig 11yo patient decided to charge $5 every time a doctor listened to his chest. It was wonderful to see him looking better and go home today. He loves soccer but I told him about my Chain Reaction Challenge. Fortunately he didn't need a ventilator or intensive care during his hospital stay but his family donated the $380 to my fundraising page. I am humbled and blessed by the families I meet. Thank you.(I would happily support his application to become our future "Chief Financial Officer" at Monash Health)

Let the training begin
This week, the early morning starts on Tuesday and Thrusday with other CR riders began. It was wonderful to learn from our coach BJ again and meet both new and past riders again.

Thanks for helping David in November 2024. The NZ ride looks tough but definitely doable with enough training.
