Wheels of Dana EXPLAINED

Wheels of Dana

Cycling, Charity & Challenge: The quickest way to get a gist of this trip is to read this summary of the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE & WHY…

WHO?

Skinny guy from Dorset in the UK, who is now an Aussie on a bike touring mission.

WHAT?

Riding a bicycle from south to north of the Southern Hemisphere – New Zealand, East Coast of Australia and Indonesia.

 ‘Wheels of Dana’ is the name of the trip, as I will be riding my bike and raising money for charity. It is a play on words as the ‘Wheel of Dharma’ is a Buddhist symbol for the cycle of life, yet the word ‘Dana’ means to give from the heart. So, it means this bike trip is about ‘turning the wheels of giving’, in a literal and metaphorical way.

WHEN?

1^st January - 1^st July 2025 (ish – depending on tail winds, time spent getting lost & swooping magpies).

WHERE?

Basically, going from south to north of Australasia, covering around 8,000km. So far, the plan is:

-          NZ = Christchurch to Auckland 1,500km

-          AUS = Melbourne to Rocky Point 5,200km

-          IDN = Bali to Jakarta 1,300km

WHY?

I am fundraising to ensure all young Aussies impacted by cancer continue to receive the support they need during this difficult and isolating time.

Whether dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer, or the death of a loved one; with your help, Canteen will be in their corner.

Cancer affects everyone differently. That’s why Canteen provides a wide range of free support services including social connection events and programs, free counselling, 24/7 online support for young people and parents, access to free resources and specialist support for young cancer patients. 

Please help me help them, by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about Canteen, the greater the impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.

Thank you for your time, support and reading this far.

What’s your dream for 2025?

Warmest regards,
