The 2015 Future2 Wheel Classic has smashed its $100,000 fundraising target, with more than $120,000 raised by the time 12 riders rolled into the 2015 Financial Planning Association’s Professionals Congress in Brisbane last week, and the figure is still rising.
In total the congress raised more than $200,000 for the Future2 Foundation.
The riders were scheduled to cover 1132km on the nine-day ride, but a GPS unit carried by rider David Dyson shows that with detours and other unexpected issues en route the riders actually covered 1142km.
Dyson provided daily commentary on the Sydney-to-Brisbane ride, providing first-hand insight into the extreme physical nature of the event, as well as the camaraderie it engenders among the participants, and the critical role of the support team on the road.
he final instalment of Dyson’s diary appears below.
In his final update, Dyson urges other financial planners and fellow FPA members to get behind Future2 and support the work it does supporting not-for-profit organisations in local communities. At the FPA Professionals Congress last week the foundation announced its latest round of grants, totalling $115,000
