I'm raising funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities SEQ!
Help me raise funds for this amazing charity!
Ronald McDonald House Charities SEQ relies upon community support and fundraising in order to provide accommodation and support services to over 5,000 families every year.
My family has used Ronald McDonald House SEQ for over 3 months in the last 10 years so I know what a huge difference it makes to the parents of sick or injured children.
To have accommodation and support next to the hospital takes a lot of stress out of an already stressful situation.
To help Ronald McDonald House SEQ continue its incredible work I am doing a 4000k charity ride from Baralaba in Central Qld to Adeliade via Mt Isa, Tennent Ck and Alice Springs, solo and unassisted. I am 66 years old and the proud grandfather of 10 beautiful grandkids.
I plan to leave on the 15th of April weather permitting.
Please help me raise money for this incredible charity, any donation big or small will be greatly received.
Thank you to my Sponsors

Goodluck and congratulations for doing such a brave thing.
You are 44 years older than me and I wouldn’t even attempt to do what you’ve done. My parents are right - the Macleans of Baralaba are a wonderful family. I hope I’m half as successful in my life with my goals.
