Distance 4 Dementia: The Australian Tour

My name is Nicholas Tremaine and I'm from Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

Like many Australians, I am not alone in facing the reality of having a loved one living with dementia. Now I'm on a mission to fight for a better life for Australians living with dementia, in 2025 I have set myself the mission of taking on the gruelling challenge of riding my bicycle unsupported all the way around Australia.

In recent years I have found a love for cycling, although I am just an amateur I enjoy getting out on the bike and exploring different areas. Starting on January 1st this year I set off from Bondi Beach on a 365 day journey across Australia, with the goal of covering 40,075km. This is the equivalent of cycling the circumference of the earth, an average of 110 km a day.

I have set up this fundraising page to help cover expenses on my journey, food, water, accommodation and bike services and parts. This will enable me to fulfill my mission by riding 40,000km around Australia and by doing so drive for more awareness for the need for Dementia research and hopefully one day a cure.

Funds raised here will go towards my mission, but in addition, any dollar raised above my target will be donated to Dementia Australia for vital research into dementia.

By supporting my mission you will be helping to make a difference for people living with dementia, their families and all people that work in care for dementia patients.
