A Huge THANKYOU for your support
The Ride to Conquer Cancer was held on the weekend, 20-21 August. And what an amazing ride it was!
As many of our Clients and friends were supporters of Peter for this ride we wanted to give you a quick update of the highlights, but also to thank you again for your generosity and to show you how your support has inspired so many. It made Peter determined to finish the ride each day.
"236klm all up (118klm each day). Day 1 was a glorious day and the route tougher than we all expected. Lots of long hills we made it to our overnight camp by 3.00pm.
The return trip was wet and windy for alot of the day and we struggled up a few hills even walked a few. Quite frankly the hardest thing I have ever had completed.
This was the first ever Ride to Conquer Cancer ever held in Australia. It broke a few records too. The event had raised the most money of any single fund raising event in Queensland's History. Over $4.7m was raised. 1366 riders and together with crew and volunteers, over 2000 people actively involved to make the 2 days that followed happen.
My team, 15 all up, has raised over $50,000 - 1% of the grand total, thanks to your help and others.
Here are my Team Leaders ride statistics for your interest for Day 1 and 2 captured on his Garmin device:
