“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.

Hey Will – wishing you the best on your amazing journey. Its an awesome cause you are supporting and I’m also a firm believer that exercise is probably the easiest way for anyone, depressed or not, to overcome the blues. Good on you for raising that awareness.
Hey Will!! Got to know about you and your journey from your cousin Kat, who is currently living now in my town, Guanajuato, Mexico, where i work as a doctor. Just wanted to say your cause is inspiring and wish you the best on your journey, will be sending you the best vibes and of course i will give even more importance to exercise in the treatment of my patients. Thanks and buen viaje !
