Good day folks, it's the end of the first week and we are into the second week of the Great Cycle Challenge 2025, and it's time for a blog, to update you, my supporter and supporters, as we together support children fighting for their little lives against cancer.
Financial support for the expenses of high level medical requirements over the longer term is integral for the full benefits for the children to receive good treatment and to recover well, and so whilst I am doing the riding and fundraising, you are providing the generous and essential funds, and together we are able to make a good difference.
The first week has been pretty great, so far raising well over half my set goal of $600, and riding a third of my set distance of 300km, we are well on the way, and on the way well.
Breaking in my recently rebuilt Giant 26" MTB has been a challenge for me, and having a second bike this year has served me well, with the Giant MTB requiring a couple of days off for some maintenance I've used my Vivente Novara Hybrid Sport for a few rides so far, and the Giant Mountain Bike is back in action now, for now at least.
I'm looking forward to this second week, and today Wednesday 8th October is Donation Match Day, where every donation is matched generously by some rich and wealthy people, which is great, so we'll see what that brings for us and hopefully Team Dean GCC2025 will hit the fundraising goal soon , yeah , and then I'll have to increase it.
Well, I want to offer my personal Thank You, again, because you are making a difference that counts, with me, together, and that's great 😃👍
Into the second week we ride 😁 Ride On !
Bestest regards, Team Dean 🚲✌️❤️😎
Great
