Story

Excited that I'll be participating in the 4th annual insurance industry bike ride this July, taking place amidst the stunning Swiss Jura mountains! Once again, I'll be pedaling for a cause close to my heart - raising funds for Action Medical Research.

The work being done by Action Medical Research is truly inspiring, and I'm honoured to contribute to their mission. Beyond the thrill of the ride, this event is a chance to make a real difference in someone's life by supporting vital research and raising awareness.

My personal connection to this cause runs deep, as my mum, Fiona, is my real-life superhero who has battled the effects of polio since childhood. Her resilience fuels my determination to support organizations like Action Medical Research, founded by the incredible Duncan Guthrie.

From cycling through national parks to crossing countries, each year brings new challenges and unforgettable experiences. It's the support of amazing colleagues and friends and the shared commitment to a meaningful cause that keeps me motivated to pedal on year after year. Let's make this year's ride the best one yet!
