MILES FOR MND: ONE LAST RIDE

By Robert

Why is Bob Riding

🚴‍♂️ Why Bob is Riding

On 22nd June 2026, Bob and Tom are cycling all the way from Broome to Bowral in aid of MND NSW. This ride from Broome to Bowral isn’t about distance. It’s about time.

Motor neurone disease has no cure.

The average life expectancy after diagnosis is just 27 months.

That’s why Bob — and his grandson Tom — are riding.

Every day two Australians are diagnosed with motor neurone disease. There is currently no cure.

Support us and help raise funds so MND NSW can continue to be there for people living with motor neurone disease at every stage of their MND journey.

My Updates

Words from CEO Liam O'Meara

Wednesday 27th May
For over 40 years, MND NSW has supported people living with MND across NSW, the ACT and the Northern Territory.

Words from the CEO Liam O'Meara:

“Bob and Tom’s ride from Broome to Bowral is an extraordinary effort, not just in distance but in spirit. It reflects the best of our MND community - people choosing to push themselves so others facing this disease don’t have to do it alone. 

Every day in Australia, two people are told they have Motor Neurone Disease. It’s a diagnosis that changes everything instantly. With no cure and limited time, the support we provide becomes absolutely critical. 

For more than 40 years, MND NSW has been there for people living with MND, their families and carers. The equipment, the guidance, the care it all matters, and it’s only possible because of people like Bob and Tom who turn their effort into impact.

If you’re supporting this ride, thank you. You’re helping us deliver dignity, independence and support when it matters most.”

This ride is about turning kilometres into care.
💛 Life-changing education
💛 Assistive equipment
💛 Improving quality of life
If you’re here already — thank you.
You’re part of the why.

Our Team

Saturday 21st Feb

🚴‍♂️ Behind every big ride is a small, committed team… and one very happy dog.

This isn’t just Bob on a bike — it’s a family mission.

💛 Bob (papa) — riding from Broome to Bowral for MND
💛 Jenny — partner in life and logistics
💛 Tom (grandson) — riding alongside his Papa
💛 Tara — support crew, storyteller & road wrangler
🐾 Lucky — our friendly face on the road, guard dog, morale booster, and resident roadie

Together, we’re taking on this journey for everyone living with Motor Neurone Disease — and for those who no longer can.

Training has begun. Plans are forming. The road is calling.

Good luck mate. This disease makes me very emotional. I’ve never known anyone that has had it and hope to never know anyone. It’s such a horrible thing. What you are doing is so noble. I hope you have a fantastic trip and raise a heap of money for a great cause.
