“The only limits on your life are those that you set yourself.” —Robin Sharma
As of March 2010, I will be setting out on a solo journey, using cycling as a means of transport, through a range of countries. I am planning to ride from Lake Atitlan in the Western Highlands of Guatemala south through Central America. I will be exploring some of the most mountainous, politically insecure, poorest, wettest, hottest and loneliest places in Latin America. My purpose is to raise awareness about the importance that exercise has on mental health (healthy body = healthy mind). The charity that I will be supporting and raising money for is the Black Dog Institute.
Mental illness has had a significant influence on my life, through people close to me, both family and friends, being challenged by the effects of depression. Therefore, I have decided to help support the Black Dog Institute, especially as their new initiative “exercising the mood” is a perfect fit with what I will be looking to achieve in Latin America.
