@petebedford1 @RidingtosavememoriesEarly-onset dementia and Alzheimer's disease have unfortunately had a significant impact on my family. My father entered full-time dementia care at just 59 years old, and both my grandmother and great-grandmother on my father's side also suffered from dementia-related illnesses. Though dementia is less common in those under 65, it can strike as early as one's thirties, forties, or fifties. With this family history in mind, I've embraced the philosophy that you never know what lies ahead, prompting me to start ticking off my βone-day" adventures.
In 2022, I proudly represented The Australian Alzheimer's Research Foundation at the Finke Desert Race in Alice Springs, known as Australia's most challenging off-road race. This experience ignited my passion for supporting dementia research through my racing endeavors.
In 2024, I took on the Hattah Desert Race, completing 5 laps and making remarkable gains despite a challenging setback on lap 4 losing a Steg Peg. Looking ahead to 2025, I am committed to once again supporting The Australian Alzheimer's Research Foundation. This time, I will race with two bikes emblazoned in the foundation's new colours at both Enduro and Motocross events.
I am seeking Business to join me in this fight to save memories and make a meaningful impact. Your support contributes to vital research efforts in combating dementia.
Thank you for considering supporting the foundation. I Hope together, we can drive change and inspire hope for those affected by dementia.
βJoin the fight to save memoriesβ.
To maximize visibility for The Australian Alzheimer's Research Foundation, my bikes proudly sport the foundation's colours. For the 2025 season, both bikes will adopt a scheme to align with the foundation's updated logoβsame noble cause, refreshed look.
This distinctive appearance draws attention from various media outlets, spectators, and fellow race teams, effectively highlighting the foundation's mission. Additionally, it offers significant exposure for my sponsors, bringing their support to the forefront of the racing community.
Join me in this journey to raise awareness and support a cause that truly matters.
