Cycling from Cairns to Perth for Brain Research

$2,639 donated
Given by 19 generous donors in over a year

Del and I are young at heart 77 year olds. We will cycle, unsupported, across Australia from Cairns to Perth.

Auckland

No strangers to cycling in Australia, this will be our greatest challenge yet.

We will pedal 7000 kms across the continent, through vast isolated areas, towing our tent, food and belongings behind us in trailers.

We are raising funds for the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand for brain research into disorders such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Stroke.

Most of us will have experienced the sad decline of a family member or friend afflicted with such life shortening brain malfunctions.

Please help us to help our neuroscientists in their search for earlier detection methods, new treatments and preventions of brain disorders. All money raised goes to the Foundation.
