Thousands of children. And one powerful cause.
“The hardships of this journey are real. Long, narrow roads. Loaded road trains and trucks thundering past. The sun beating down across exposed horizons where there’s no shelter for hundreds of kilometres. Some days, the mental battle to keep pushing forward will be as tough as the ride itself.
And yet, this challenge pales in comparison to what children with cancer endure every day; invasive treatments, hospital corridors, and a fear no child should have to face.
I can’t change a diagnosis. I can’t take away the pain. But I can ride every day, every kilometre to honour their journey and to show them, and their whānau, that they are not alone.”
