14251 Km Loop around Australia in 50 days

Hi we’re Ben & Jay two none cyclists originally from the UK cycling 14251 Km in 50 days around Australia proving that anything is possible while raising awareness for mental health. 

This will be after nearly two years of difficult training to take on this challenge and transform from weight lifters to cyclists.

Why would someone do this?

Deep down we have always wanted to challenge ourselves and looked up to many people that have pushed themselves to the limits or overcome setbacks in life. 

In 2020 with the global pandemic putting the world on hold we had time to look at our own lives and realised that we have overcome many challenges that we are lucky to reach the age we are today when many of my friends have not due to suicide.

What has started as a personal goal of finding a highly difficult life changing challenge to prove a point to ourselves that if we can put our minds to something and stick it out until the end we can achieve.

Us cycling for 50 days all the way around Australia is nothing compared to the millions battling mental health everyday across Australia and the world.

Losing close friends and battling depression has given us the drive to give people a voice and to hopefully remove the stigma around mental health.

Please support our journey and the mission of mental health by donating to Mindfull Aus.

I'm gearing up and making a difference by fundraising for a cause that's close to my heart. Iíd appreciate any contribution, big or small.

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.

Thanks so much for your support!
