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."
Lots of ways you can help out! Click here to find out how
Jack's dad Brendon is doing the ride with him.
Brendon is a former Ironman Triathlete, marathon runner, marathon swimmer, ultra endurance cyclist......and male nurse (that's where he met Jack's mum - she was a nurse too).
Brendon is 41 and looks a lot older!
Mel (Jack's mum) looks very, very young and we will not divulge her age!

Jack, when you get to Kimba, have your photo taken with the Big Galah…..
