My Updates

I'm fundraising for...

Wednesday 19th Feb
Hi Everyone, in April 2024 I plan to ride our E-bike from Shoalwater to Esperance (via Albany) in Western Australia. This journey is some 1100 kilometres and all going well, I plan to complete this in 12 days. There are a number of reasons for giving this a go but the one in the forefront of this experience is in memory of our son Shaun (Gilly) Gilchrist, who we lost in April 2023 after a 6 year battle with Urachal Adenocarcinoma.

Thank you to my Sponsors
