It's coming up to that time of year, the MS Brissie to the Bay fundraiser. I've participated for the last 3 years, the first two being a 100km course, and last year I completed the 160km course.
This year, I guess because of the costs involved, they aren't running the 160km course, so I've signed up for the 100km route. It's not all good, at 51 years of age, my knees are protesting when they're crossed for more than a few minutes. I'm on a waiting list to have a tear in my right knee's meniscus. If they schedule it for June, I'm going to postpone it, because I'm going to be riding the 100km on my pushbike on June 17. I have a couple of obstacles... because of knee problems, the longest distance I've ridden in the last 4 months is 27 km. I can work on that... At the end of this month I have to go work at the Commonwealth Games for 3 weeks, and won't be able to train. So my training will be for about 5 or 6 weeks before the event. This has become my favourite charity to support and raise funds for, as I see the projects in the community they've built to support people with MS. If i throw dollars at the RedCross, it gets sent overseas. I'm looking after my community. If you would like to help me in my endeavour, throw me $2 or more (so you can claim it on your tax) to help out this worthy cause. I'll do the hard yards getting my body up to speed to do the job. Donate here
