Help me support kids in need

This will be my 4th year of the Chain Reaction Corporate Challenge. Each year i have raised more than the year before. Last year i raised just over $21,000. A huge thank you to all those who supported me and the BaptistCare team. I would like to do the same this year. This means i would need to raise over $22,000. 

“This journey is ONE OF HOPE to which I have journeyed through.  When I was young, I unfortunately experienced domestic violence first hand. My mother tried to shield my sister and I from the violent consequences. We could have definitely used the HopeStreet services. 

Years later, I now find myself in a position to help break this cycle by raising much needed funds for services, to help those who need it most.

Our HopeStreet team have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time and effort to help women and children who have experienced domestic and family violence, and some who live in terror and distress every day.”

PLEASE help me reach my target and in the process help many young people who need every bit of it. 
Thanks

Western

My Updates

Packed and Ready

Tomorrow i fly out to Melbourne to join the team. My bike is packed, and the gear is also loaded into the bike bag. I have a 23kg allowance (Bronze FF Member) - the total weight came to 22.9kgs. Fluked that one. Butterflies are churning and I am hoping i haven't forgotten anything. 
To my great appreciation of all the supporters,  my initial target of $22,000 has been absolutely demolished. Currently the Total - its at a smidge over $28,000. I am humbled by the support and i will take that along with me to complete the challenge. On behalf of BaptistCare and SoTheyCan - THANK YOU ALL 

5 Days away

Thank you everyone for your amazing support. Only 5 days away and we are starting to even choose our food for the overnight stays. It's all too real now. 
Clothes are being put aside, cables to charge the devices, bike cleaned and checked. Melbourne here we come. 

New Goal Set

Huge thanks to all who have supported me, BaptistCare HopeStreet & SoTheyCan. I set an initial target of $22K, the support was so amazing I raised it to $24K. I have now nearly reached that too. I am blown away by everyone’s generosity. Let’s see if $25,000 can be achieved. 
THANKS AGAIN 

Target almost met.

As we embark on this journey to ride 1000kms my fundraising target of $22,000 is only $49 away. The amazing support fueled by a shared vision of creating positive change and making a meaningful difference in the lives of children in need, has given me the confidence not only meet but exceed my goal and to raise the goal to $24,000. Together, let's amplify our impact and inspire hope for a brighter future.

Thank you for joining me and BaptistCare on this journey.
