"On My Bike"
31st March 2011 to 10th May 2011
Scarborough (WA) to Scarborough (Qld)
including Redcliffe (WA) to Redcliffe (Qld).
Total distance - 4565 kms on a bicycle!!
I created this page so businesses, friends and family can make donations to the Heart Foundation!
My big bike ride is now complete - I have done it - actually biked across Australia from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean!!
It was a fantastic adventure - a real trip of a life time!! What a wonderful (although at times tiring) time!!!!
There were a few trials and tribulations along the way - but I was absolutely determined never to give up - and I didn't!!
Please check out my website - www.brendanoonan-onmybike.com - as there is a lot of information about my trip there.
And don't think it is too late to donate - it certainly isn't!!!! Do it now, through this page by clicking on the "Donate Now" button.
I am still giving talks to interested community groups about my trip in return for a donation to the Heart Foundation - if you are interested, please contact me via my website.
I am even more pro the Heart Foundation now than I was before I set off.
Good nutrition and good exercise are vital for us to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. We can help ourselves to be healthy!!
The Heart Foundation has a ton of information on their website about good nutrition, and active living!! It sure is worth checking out the Heart Foundation website.
To those of you who have donated already - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! It makes my efforts all seem worthwhile!!
Your support and messages along the way certainly gave me great inspiration to keep going!
So please help today if you haven't already - and feel free to pass this on to your family and friends!
Many thanks ……

Message from the Heart Foundation:-
The Heart Foundation is such a worthwhile cause!!
Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. That's one person every 90 minutes. And many of these deaths are premature and preventable.
Cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke & blood vessel disease) is the single leading cause of death in New Zealand. It causes 40 percent of all deaths annually in our country - making it more deadly than all forms of cancer.
The nature of who is affected by it is changing. New research shows that young adults in their 20s and 30s are being admitted to hospital for heart attacks more than ever before, and that this age group is dying at a faster rate than people of the same age in previous generations. Much of this change is due to unhealthy lifestyles - poor eating habits, lack of physical activity and being a smoker.
But the good news is that many risk factors for heart disease are preventable, if people make healthy lifestyle choices.
By donating here you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.
Brenda will do all the hard work (train for and pedal hard for days), but she really needs you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.
So, please can you sponsor her?
Select the "Make a donation" button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure and the money goes directly to the Heart Foundation's bank account.
If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.
Many thanks for your support!!
