Jonah's RideDetermined to complete the grueling challenge, Jonah has set himself a goal of completing 300kms a day.
“Instead of just focusing on the ride we want to do it in the fastest possible time,” he said.

‘Jonah’s Ride’ started on 9th March and ended at 5pm on Friday 23rd March 2007, Proceeds raised throughout the event are going to Endeavour, which Jonah is already involved with via the Endeavour 500 Summer Challenge Relay.

“My involvement with the Endeavour 500 Summer Challenge has brought my attention to the tireless effort that the Endeavour Foundation puts into supporting people with a disability and their families. I hope my ride will provide an opportunity to raise the profile of Endeavour and the important role that it plays in the community.”
