Riding 4000km's to change lives

My target 4000 kms

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

I'm doing the JDRF One Ride to raise funds for type 1 diabetes! This means I will be riding on 29 November 2025 through the picturesque Barossa Valley. While I am challenging myself, I am also raising funds to help improve the lives of those living with type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break and people living with type 1 diabetes face an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy. JDRF is the largest funder of type 1 diabetes research in the world.

DONATE NOW to help change the lives of more than 130,000 Australians living with T1D. Thank you!

On the final stretch!

Sunday 23rd Nov
Less than 1 week to go, and just over 200 of my pledged 4000km since signing up to ride to go! A gentle week with a few gentle rides planned to find 50 or 60kms before the big 160km ride on Saturday!

In training, not long to go now!

Saturday 15th Nov
Spent a weekend with Deano, my One Ride teammate. We spent 10 hours of moving time on the bike. Not long to go now!

ADATS & ADC week

Monday 18th Aug
Off to a week of learning at the Australian Diabetes Congress meeting. Participating in a Symposium on Friday, “Endocrinologist and Service Leader’s perspective of keeping up to date with diabetes tech”.
Bike will now have to wait until the weekend!

A very sad day

Monday 4th Aug
Peter was a patient of mine. He was taken by his diabetes in his sleep on Friday.
He liked wake boarding, quad bikes, cricket and football. He was a participant in previous One Ride events. 
I will miss you Peter.
