Why am I taking part

UPDATE: I'm unable to make it for the actual event in Brisbane on the 6th of September, so I decided to create my own challenge of doing a 100km ride last Saturday. Last Thursday and Friday I was actually sick, I woke up Saturday morning still not feeling well, against my better judgement, I decided to go on the ride anyway to show my support for Beyond Blue and Tour De Office. I originally thought it was going to be a 100km ride, it ended up being 143km return. I'm paying the price for doing that distance now, as I'm still not fully recovered for my sickness. If you would like to commend me for my efforts, please consider donating to my cause and helping Australia reach their best mental health. Strava segment for reference: https://www.strava.com/activities/1810882290 I believe in raising awareness about mental health as it affects so many people on a daily basis. I support organisations like Beyond Blue, Movember yearly because I believe that in working together as a community, we can reach out to those suffering from mental illness and give them hope. I am also passionate about cycling and I'm willing to give it my all so we can reach the 400km goal. Please support me and the team, to help make a difference #tourdeoffice2018
