I'm originally from Perth, but have been living in Sydney since I was 12. My dad rode in the inaugural ride in 2002 and I begged to go along, but very unfairly he wouldn't take me! I'm now old enough and hopefully fit enough to keep up, and am thrilled to have the opportunity to join him for the 20th anniversary ride.
When I was 7 years old and dad explained to me the reason for the ride, and the cause that he was riding in support of, I understood how important it was. Now, as an adult, the cause is even more important and personal to me.
