DOING IT FOR A CAUSE

Friday 1st May

This is a big year for me — I’m turning 50.
And more than anything, it’s made me reflect on how fortunate I am.

I’m grateful for my life, my family, my kids, my friends, and the colleagues who challenge and support me every day. Not everyone gets that start — and that’s what drives me to do this.

This year, I’m pushing myself physically and mentally through two major challenges. One is personal: completing my first full Ironman on July 12th.
The other matters even more.

I’ll be cycling through the mountains of Italy with my colleagues, using every climb and every moment of suffering to raise funds for children who were simply not as lucky as I was.

When the road hurts and the climbs feel endless, I’ll be thinking of them — and of everyone who chose to support this cause.

If you can help in any way, I would be deeply grateful. Every contribution counts, and every bit of support gives meaning to every kilometre.

Thank you.

Thank you to my Sponsors

Good luck, Richard! May the Italian headwinds be gentle, the climbs be short, and expect you to keep the Sabre team well ahead of Voiture Balai or Meat Wagon.
