Success! We made it!

We cycled over 750km through SA and western Victoria as part of the 2024 Pain revolution rural outreach tour.

It has been an incredible week. There were some long tough days with windy conditions but together we all made it.

I am extremely grateful to my ride captain Steve who did an awesome job on the tandem along with organising the ride routes and keeping us all safe on the road.

Thanks to all the support crew

It was also awesome to attend a number of the community events and hear from people expressing their delight that they now have hope of returning to the things they love, free from pain once dominating all aspects of their life.

It is difficult to describe the mixed emotions associated with completing this adventure. There is a great sense of accomplishment, joy and a little relief, but also mixed in with much gratitude to my partner and all the people at Pain revolution who made it possible for me to be involved. Whilst there was eagerness to return home, I was also sad that this adventure with an amazing group of generous people had come to an end.

In many respects pain revolution is still in its infancy, but it does seem like it is now starting to show evidence of change. People are open to learning about pain and gaining a new understanding of what pain is. I admire the grass-roots approach of Pain revolution.

So many of the people involved, like myself, are from small farming communities and understanding the added challenges of accessing health services in rural areas. We are working to up-skill the communities so they don’t need to go to or rely on metropolitan areas. – Like all change, it takes time!

To read about the work of pain revolution and see how you can get involved check out their website: https://www.painrevolution.org/

I was blown away with all the donations and messages of support. I was aiming for $3,500 and at last check I was just short of this at $3,160.

So, if you were thinking of donating it is not too late, See the fundraising link:

Finally, thanks to everyone that donated, I am extremely grateful for your support, I did try to make the effort to thank you all individually, although there were a couple of anonymous donations, so thanks also to whoever you are.

Check out some pics from the last day as we arrived into Horsham roughly a 95km day that started with a 10km climb followed by some cross winds. We were also super excited to see cycling legend Phil Anderson join us on the ride for the last day.

Day 5 Ararat to Halls Gap. A few nasty side winds and a bit of climbing through the Grampians.
Really well attended community outreach event at Stawell

Still just a tiny bit short of my fundraising target, so would love your support, over 600 km down and just a couple of days to go.

4 years I posted almost the same photo happy to be starting a new adventure, today it is with a little sadness that I close my door for the last time.

It's not all bad news though as next week I start a new job in a non-clinical role with Marathon health which I'm very excited about.

I am extremely grateful to the friends and family that helped me set up the clinic and encouraged me to go out on my own especially to my partner Phil, for without his assistance, support and encouragement I would have never done it.

I am thankful to all of you who attended the clinic and became a part of my life, that is the thing I will miss the most. I have loved being a part of your life and I hope that I helped with your health and recovery in some small way. Thanks so much to those people who referred friends and family to me, it means so much that you trusted in me.

I will still be contactable through this email, phone and social media. I hope that in the future I may have some capacity for home visits, but I can’t make any promises at this stage.
