Taking place on Sunday 5 November, MS Australia has been busy organising the one day bike ride. Participants can choose between a 90km trek starting at St. Peters or a 56km trek starting at Heathcote. Regardless of the course participants choose, the scenery will be magnificent as they’ll ride through the Royal National Park and for the first time in the event history, progress over the spectacular Seacliff Bridge.
David was initially motivated to raise money for the event as he’s witnessed the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis. The chronic disease has no cure and those with MS are forced to live with its many detrimental effects. He hopes that by riding for the event, he can make a difference to the lives of those suffering from the disease.
So what’s with the Forrest Gump motif? David’s inspired by the movie character—his simple nature, his knowing no boundaries and being hugely successful due to his ignorance.
“Sometimes us ‘not so slow people’ fail in what we set out to do because we know all the boundaries and difficulties in achieving it,” said David. “I think there is a lesson for all of us to learn from Forrest, hence I’m applying it to this fundraising event.”
