I have chosen quite a big action. I'm going to cycle from Perth to Sydney! May not be such a big thing as many people have done it and I have no intention of trying to break a record, but if you knew anything about me you'de realize it's a major undertaking.

October last year I weighed 131Kgs and until July last year I smoked between 30 and 40 cigarettes every day. Now I've been off cigarettes for 6 months and I've lost 7Kgs since October, but I'm far from fit. I'm 37 years old and most of my adult life has been spent infront of a computer without much exercise. So for me it's going to be a big achievement to cycle from Perth to Sydney.

As far as I can tell the trip is 4,200Kms and my biggest restriction is going to be to get enough leave to do it. So I am going to aim to cycle around 140Kms per day.

My hope is that I can get both individuals and companies to sponsor the event, with all donations going to the children.

Cycle hard!
