From October 16-18, 2009 I will be riding in the Kilometres for Kids ride from Sydney to the Hunter Valley and back and will be helping to change the lives of young Australian wheelchair users.
The Kilometres for Kids ride covers 450 Kilometres in three days and raises funds for the John Maclean Foundation (www.jmf.com.au) which provides financial assistance to young wheelchair users through the purchase of new wheelchairs, medical equipment, vehicle and house modifications, computers and educational assistance or any item that helps to improve the quality of life for these great kids and their families.
JMF is a registered charity founded by legendary wheelchair athlete John Maclean OAM. John is the first wheelchair athlete to have completed the famous Hawaii Ironman triathlon and is the first wheelchair athlete to swim the English Channel.
JMF provides support on a national basis and assists children who experience paraplegia, quadriplegia, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and similar conditions. JMF supports families whose children desperately require support. In many cases the families are surviving on extremely low incomes and Government assistance and incurring extraordinary costs associated with the welfare of their child. JMF recognises the abilities of these great kids and encourages each to achieve extraordinary things on their own
