See our donor list here.
In September 2008, 15 year old Jack Sinclair and his dad Brendon, will cycle 4,500 kms across Australia (from Perth to Surfers Paradise) in just 30 days.
The ride will be used to raise to help raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia - a fantastic organisation who match up mentors to children who need a positive role model. Let's give a helping hand.
Cycling legend Robbie McEwen is our Ride Ambassador and said:
"For a young man of just 15 years of age to undertake this huge journey with the discipline and commitment he is showing is inspiring."

Kate Leeming of Melbourne was the first woman to ride across the new Russia.
Kate is also ranked #3 in the world in Royal (Real) Tennis.
Kate rode around Australia - 25,000 km in 9 months in 2004.
Kate's advice to Jack at dinner - "Just pace yourself like me, Jack, and you'll get there."
Talking endurance cycling? Nope.
Discussing how to eat the enormous dessert they both had in front of them when they had dinner in Melbourne in December 07!
