Story

Family, friends and supporters,
 
My son, Patrick, aged 13, has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a life limiting degenerative neuromuscular condition with no cure.  Along with a group of fabulous family and friends, I am again, with much trepidation, participating in the Big Red Ride on Sunday 16 November 2014.
 
We ride 150kms from Bondi Beach to the Blue Mountains which includes a 1,000 metre climb to the finish line.  This will test the leg muscles of the most seasoned cyclists (which I'm not, so oh no!) and yes that's quite a hill, to raise awareness and funds for Muscular Dystophy NSW.  
 
All money raised will go to camps organised by Muscular Dystrophy NSW.  These camps provide a resoundingly positive and uplifting experience for the kids.  The sheer delight and emotional benefit I have seen my son and other kids gain from attending these camps is priceless.
 
Albeit quite a task for me and fellow riders, we are enthusiastically embracing this challenge knowing that boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy can never experience the joy of jumping on a bike let alone cycling this far but can enjoy camp!
 
I am seeking support to get me up that hill, so if you would like to donate feel free to go right aheadsmiley
