I was reminded today that certain decisions, encounters, meetings and events help shape our lives. These certain moments can be crucial and profoundly change the course of our ives. Today I was meeting up with past employees of MS. Some of the members were there when it was the MS Society of Victoria and some [...]
For the last few months I have been overseas racing and training and I had a fairly successful season with many lessons learned along the way. But after the racing was done I decided to take a month off for the first time ever! I always take some time off at the end of the [...]
Not many of us get the chance to say that we have completed our bucket lists. But today I can say that in my sporting life I have done just that. Seven years ago when I started riding my trike competitively I just wanted to see where it would take me. I wrote down some [...]
