It doesn't get any easier as the years tick by ...

Participating in a Chain Reaction Challenge doesn't get any easier as the years tick by, and this year’s cycle around the South Island of New Zealand will test the body, but no matter how hard it gets, it’s easier than the day to day lives of the kids’ the Chain Reaction Foundation support.

Phil has cycled regularly over the years with a bunch of likeminded mates, and can be found most mornings on his cycle, battling around the local hills trying to maintain a semblance of fitness.

Phil completes several cycle events each year but saves his legs for the annual Chain Reaction Challenges which are superbly organised and very professionally executed, providing a wonderful opportunity to challenge himself, engage with like-minded people and make a meaningful contribution to less fortunate children through the Chain Reaction Foundation.

With two teenage children and understanding the tenuous nature of children's health this opportunity to help children less fortunate than Phil's, ticks all the boxes for him.

New Zealand will be a tough challenge this year, with over 1,000 Kms of cycling (Inc. 12,000 meters of climbing) and preparation constantly challenged by the perennial La Niña weather patterns (relentless wet training rides…). Please help Phil realise his goal by making a meaningful contribution to this year’s Chain Reaction Challenge fundraising.
