The Great Ocean Ride

My Updates

Thank you!

Thursday 5th Jan
Success! I can't thank enough all of you who donated to this cause, sent messages of encouragement, or who helped on the day. 

After ~10.5 hours of riding, 290 km, 3,600 meters climbed,  and importantly almost $10,000 raised, the fundraiser was an amazing success. 

The support this gives for Lifehouse and encouragement for Em in her journey is significant. Thank you again, all the best for your 2023!

Best wishes, Tom 

Why I'm riding

Tuesday 15th Nov
Chances are everyone in their lifetime will know someone close who is affected by cancer. Unfortunately, Em is one. While cancer hits hard, Em's resilience, fight and character while dealing with her diagnosis has been an inspiration for me and many others to go further. 

Em's fight has inspired me to take on a challenge to fundraise for Lifehouse - an NFP that will be helping her throughout her journey. That's why I've decided to ride from Warnambool to Point Lonsdale via the Great Ocean Road on 23 December - a 280 KM trip most people bike-pack over 3-4 days.  

The key goal is to hit the fundraising target with the generous support of anyone wanting to support Em and other cancer patients and survivors 

I would be immensely grateful to anyone who wants to join me in supporting this goal.

Tom, much respect for what you are doing! This company is more than a business, we are a community. And a community has to take care of its own. Give that Great Ocean Road hell!
