‘I knew she’d had a battle with cancer but I didn’t know to what degree. She’s gone through and had treatment and it’s continued to morph and move – it’s gone to parts of her lung and into her lymph nodes. ‘I’ve worked with Pam at Newtown Police Station for around five years. I am cycling from South Mole Lighthouse in Fremantle and will be finishing at the Sydney Opera House to raise money to support her. I’ll be riding just over 4,000km which will take anywhere between 28 and 34 days depending on how well I go physically. The total vertical climbing for this ride is just over 16,000m so close to twice the height of Mt Everest for the time that I’m riding. ‘I’ve suffered from PTSD in my job and had treatment for that and I’ve come out the other side knowing myself better. This will be a journey for me of discovery of myself in some ways but along the way I can think about what Pam’s had to go through. ‘Like any person I fear failure. I’m only human and bodies are fragile - you push yourself to the limit and you find out what you can do and what you can’t do. It’s going to take a toll on me physically and mentally. ‘There is going to be some loneliness. There are going to be times where I don’t want to be out there. There’ll be other times when I’m enjoying the scenery and being amazed by the beautiful country we live in but most of all I’ll be thankful that I’m alive and breathing and I’ve got the opportunity to help other people. I’m really looking forward to just trying to make as much money for Pam as I can. ‘I’m what you call a solo unsupported bike packer. So I have all my bags on the bike with all my clothing, camp gear and camp stove and I have to pick up my supplies each day and basically be able to carry my water and food for the journey from one destination to the next. ‘It will be great to hear from people when I’m out there as I’ll be very much on my own.’ Follow Anthony’s journey at: https://www.facebook.com/thinbluedot/ Donate link in bio ☝🏻☝🏾☝️
