Black Dog Peaks Challenge!
On 9th March 2025, I'll be taking on the most demanding cycling challenge in Australia: the Peaks Challenge Falls Creek. This is the equivalent of a mountain stage in the Tour de France, covering 235km and 4,400m of elevation climbs, and I have to complete all of this in one day in under 13 hours!
I signed up for this challenge back in October - before even buying a bike - and I can already tell this will be one of the toughest things I've ever done. With each pedal stroke, I’m pushing myself to my limits, but there’s a reason I’m doing this: to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute.
Mental illness impacts 1 in 5 Australians every year, with conditions like depression and anxiety having devastating effects. It's something that doesn’t discriminate, and the ripple effect it has on families, friends, and communities is far-reaching. By taking on this massive physical challenge, I hope to support the vital mental health research and services that the Black Dog Institute provides, to help Australians battling mental illness and suicide.
Your donation will help make a real difference in the lives of those affected, funding essential services and life-saving research. Every dollar counts, and your support means the world to me as I work up a serious sweat for such an important cause.
Together, let's create a meaningful moment for mental health!
Please donate now. Thank you.
