Emily Young
My name is Emily I work part time as a receptionist at Sexton Chiropractic Bendigo. I’m a little spontaneous at times and when I saw Adrian a family friend after he completed the 2021 Alpine ride, I kinda felt a little inspired. As someone who hasn’t really ridden a bike since being a kid, i went home and started looking up bikes (and man they are a lot more fancier and a lot more $$$ then when I was a kid) anyway that was Sunday afternoon, by Monday morning I had convinced myself I’m going to register with absolutely no experience. Surely riding can’t be that hard ….. right! Well turns out riding is a lot harder than i thought, specially on an unfit body. I could have easily walked away and said no, I’ll just make a donation instead of doing the ride, however you only have to look at the reason for these rides, am I really going to walk away from an opportunity that raises money to help find a cure for childhood cancer just because it was too hard and go back to my couch and binge watch tv shows? I only have to know that these children probably have more goals and dreams to achieve in life that I’ve ever had and to know that if they give up they lose their actually life, this is happening even when they don’t give up and continue to fight, so it’s a no brainer for me and every time I peddle and struggle I will remind myself that it’s all over once I reach my destination unlike kids who can get the "all clear" but have that change months later like Lily. So if registering to ride isn't your thing, then get on my link and make a donation for a good cause, all tax deductable
