FROM OPEN HEART SURGERY TO SOLO AROUND THE WORLD CYCLIST

Jeremy wasn’t only born with a huge hole in his heart, but with adventure and a love of the great outdoors pulsing through his veins. With those passions in life he couldn’t have wished for a better place to grow up than New Zealand.  With his insatiable hunger to explore more of the world Jeremy moved to London which he used as a base to travel extensively throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and South America.

 

Despite seeing more of the world that most people ever dream of doing, he felt there was still so much more to explore and set off on his incredible 52,000km solo bike ride around the globe.

 

His lust for new challenges didn’t stop there.  At the completion of that epic journey Jeremy wrote his first book “The Long Road From A Broken Heart” and continues to further his career in Public Speaking and Photography.

 

During his epic ride Jeremy raised funds for the New Zealand, Australian and British Heart Foundations and continues to work closely with these Charities which mean so much to him on a personal level.

 

Jeremy's presentation on 29 February was a personal story about a journey from life saving open heart surgery as a child through to an adult who spent 2.5 years cycling 52000 Klm around the planet.  It was both entertaining and inspirational, the images from around the world were stunning and his story highlighted what anybody can achieve with an adventurous spirit and the courage to go beyond those first few kilometres!

 

He has raised $28000 for Australian, New Zealand and British Heart Foundations.
