Thanks to the great support of all our sponsors the epic journey will begin on Monday 29 March 2010 in Perth. We will ride tandem over 4000 kilometers, across the country for 4 weeks, crossing 5 States and Teritories, to arrive in Sydney on Friday 23 April 2010.

The ride aims to raise funds to support Vision Australia’s vital services for people who are blind or have low vision and generate awareness of the significant abilities of people who are blind or have low vision.

“This ride will be a dream come true for my brother and I and it will bring us a great sense of accomplishment. But it means much more to us than that.”

A report by Vision Australia has revealed that more than 63 per cent of Australians who are blind and want to work are unable to find meaningful employment.

“Dean and I want to challenge the public’s perception and encourage employers to give a fair go to people who are blind or have low vision. We want to show the nation that anything is possible when you put your mind to it,” Lorin said.

We invite all to join with us on this journey by:
