I took up cycling to try and stay fit and more importantly to annoy and embarrass my children by wearing Lycra. But a major reason I keep riding is to Ride for Youth. This will be my 7th Ride and it is an amazing community of people who are raising incredibly important funds to address a huge problem in our society.
I am incredibly honoured to be the captain for Team Budget. Budget have supported the Hawaiian Ride for Youth for an incredible 21 years.
My proudest achievements are that I have 3 wonderful children, and the amazing people they have become! Oh, and I am punching well above my weight in the marriage department.
It hurts to get up early to train, it hurts to train, and it hurts to sit on a bike seat for hours at a time. But, that sort of pain is nothing compared to the pain of losing a friend or loved one.
We can do something about the problems young people face today, but it takes time and money.
PLEASE donate to this wonderful cause.
