Why I'm taking part
Why I'm Riding for the Heart Foundation
A few weeks ago, my world changed forever.
I lost my younger brother to heart disease. He was only 47 years old.
Like many families, we never imagined heart disease would take someone so young. His passing left our family heartbroken, and it also made me stop and think about my own heart health.
After losing him, I decided to have my own heart checked. My tests showed that I have mild coronary artery disease with some calcium build-up in my arteries. While it was frightening to hear, I'm grateful I found out now, while I still have the opportunity to make changes.
Since then, I've completely changed the way I eat. I've embraced a Mediterranean-style diet, started exercising regularly, and I'm doing everything I can to lower my cholesterol and protect my heart. It's not always easy, but every healthy choice feels like a step towards a longer, healthier future for myself and my family.
That's why I've decided to take part in this Heart Foundation cycling fundraiser.
Every kilometre I ride is for my brother, whose life ended far too soon. It's also for his children and my child, so I can do everything possible to be here for them for many years to come. And it's for everyone whose life has been touched by heart disease.
Heart disease remains one of Australia's biggest killers, but research, education and prevention save lives. By supporting the Heart Foundation, you're helping fund that vital work while encouraging people like me to take control of their heart health before it's too late.
If you're able to support my ride, whether through a donation or simply by sharing my fundraiser, I'd be incredibly grateful.
Thank you for helping me honour my brother's memory and support a future where fewer families have to experience the heartbreak that ours has.
I’m taking on Cycle for Heart
I’m jumping on the bike this month and setting myself a challenge to raise money for the Heart Foundation. If you can, I’d really appreciate your support. Every bit helps.
