Happy New Year everyone!! 🎉
Wow, what a start to 2024! We cycled 500km from Goolwa all the way to Mt Gambier over four days…and we are not experienced cyclist! But we did it, all while raising money for mental health supporting Talk Out Loud Australia and filming the entire journey.
The level of support we got from all our sponsors, locals, councils and businesses as well as various media interviews was outstanding. We honestly did not expect this to be as big as it was. We can say it was not an easy challenge. Many ups and downs, 20/30km headwinds, 8-9hrs of cycling each day, stress, broken phones, pain and injury, hills and the mental exhaustion experienced definitely made this an opportunity to not only work our body but our minds too. What a great way to kick start 2024 though! 💪🏻 🚲
We are so proud and grateful for all involved in this event. Big thank you to Aaron for leading the charge and also driving the entire route to map it out before hand! Mickayla and Danni did an amazing job at documenting everything along the way and ensuring everything logistically ran as smoothly as possible. Nicola also helped keep us fed and motivated throughout too. Without the team work and support Jamie and I would probably still be stuck in Goolwa!
Teamwork, that is how we overcome adversity and the hills and headwinds life throws our-way. Big thank you to everyone else who also assisted along the way!
We are all so grateful for the support. The fundraiser continues till the end of the month and we will be sharing more footage and photos of the trek over the next few weeks. Please donate and help support this great cause!!
