This February, over 10 days of intense riding, our riders will tackle up to 1,000km across the Australian Alps, conquering as much as 19,000m in climbing.
I'm taking on this Mountains for Murray Challenge with Cameron and the CAMS Crew to raise awareness and vital funds for MND, a cause close to my heart. It won’t be easy! I am not the fit rider I used to be but every kilometre I ride is for those who can’t—because together, we can make a difference to ensure no Queenslander has to face Motor Neurone Disease alone.
These are my rides:
Day 1: Jindabyne to Jindabyne via Beloka the shorter route 82km / ~1464m
Day 2: Jindabyne to Thredbo 35km / ~904m
Day 3: Thredbo to Corryong 104km / ~2220m
Day 4: Corryong to Tallangatta 86km / ~1205m
Day 5: Tallangatta to Mitta Mitta 64km / ~446m
Day 6: Mitta Mitta to Omeo 108km / ~2039m
Day 7: Omeo to Bright via Mt Hotham 110km / ~2130m
Day 8: Bright to Buckland Gate Return 48km / ~376m
Day 9: Bright to Falls Creek Return via Tawonga Gap and Mt Beauty 126km / ~2875m
Day 10: Bright to Mt Buffalo Return 86km / ~1729m
Distance Total: 849km and Approximate Elevation Total: ~15388m!!! Crikey!!

The MND and Me Foundation does great work supporting both people with MND and their families while also funding critical research and I will do this for them.

No donation is too small and any support you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Currently, about 300 Queenslanders are living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) which is a terminal disease with no effective treatment or cure. Every day in Australia, two people pass away from MND and another two are diagnosed. MND progressively stops your brain and spinal cord communicating messages to your body, taking away your ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow and eventually breathe.
