My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm planning to ride from Bridport, Dorset, UK all the way home to Upper Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand, all on my lonesome.
I have been riding bikes since I was big enough to hold one up, its a passion, almost an addiction, so I thought at this time in my life when both my daughters are all grown up and I have no real responsibilities or commitments and I'm a bit bored, stuck in a rut, I should do something worthwhile. I am supporting Dyslexia Action on my trip to raise money and awareness for an amazing cause and prove that being dyslexic should never hold you back.
When I went to school dyslexia wasn't really recognized, so I was never offered any help and was labelled difficult or disruptive. I left school with absolutely no qualifications. That, however has not stopped me from doing anything. It's been hard at times, really hard, but I am determined and have achieved everything I have ever set out to(with a little help, of course!).
Thankfully dyslexia is now recognized and Dyslexia Action do an amazing job helping and supporting people and their families, so I am asking you guys to do the same and give generously to this amazing charity.
So this is the plan for my little adventure...
I have a ordered new bike, a BMW Adventure Triple Black from CW Motorcycles in Dorchester www.cwmotorcycles.co.uk which I pick up when I get back to the UK in Dec. The bike will be kitted out with lots of gadgets from www.power-motion.co.uk so you can all keep track of me as I travel across the world. I plan to set off in Jan 2012 over to France through Europe to Turkey, through lots of countries ending in stan... China along the Silk road, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore over to Australia and back home to NZ. It's going to be an amazing adventure of thousands of miles over nearly five months!
I will keep you all updated as the planning goes on and when I finally set off will keep you all updated with photos, videos and even live tracking.
Please show your support to this amazing charity.
