Story
Mountain Bike Race Across New Zealand - 3000Kms / 1864 miles
Why?
Ten years ago Andrew Mcready-Bryan, a colleague and friend received a call that would shatter the life of any parent.
James, Andrew’s son, was the victim of a vicious and unprovoked attack on his 20th birthday.
The tragic result of this senseless act left James with permanent brain damage and quadriplegic paralysis.
In addition to the emotional stress of having to deal with such a tragedy, there is a huge financial burned as James requires special care around the clock.
In his search for solutions Andrew discovered that there are a number of families who face very similar circumstance resulting from thoughtless violence.
Recognising the severe shortfalls of the Healthcare System to adequately support these families, Andrew set up the JMB Foundation to provide financial support that enables more appropriate care for the victims as well as some relief for their families.
Outside of work hours, Andrew now dedicates his time to raising funds for the JMB Foundation
How can you help?
I am hoping to make a small contribution by appealing to friends and colleagues around the world to sponsor me 1 cent, penny or currency of your choice for every 1km of the race.
3000kms for 30 bucks – That’s pretty good mileage!!
Of course you are welcome to sponsor more than 1 cent or penny per Km!!

JMB Foundation - The James Macready-Bryan Foundation
The JMB Foundation was established in 2007 to provide support for the rehabilitation of James Macready-Bryan after he incurred life-changing injuries to his brain as a result of a serious assault in October 2006, when he was just 20 years old. James fell, unconscious, hitting his head on the pavement. Unfortunately, when he fell, he also fell through a gap in our social support system, which provides very limited funding for the care and rehabilitation of young acquired brain injury patients.
The Foundation has two main aims: to provide financial support for care and rehabilitation, not only for James, but also for other young sufferers of an acquired brain injury (ABI); and to give a public voice to those young people – who all too often literally cannot speak for themselves – and to their families and carers.
Our fundraising allows us to provide vital financial support for additional services in care facilities, for the provision of better and more appropriate home care, for participation in community activities that are otherwise out of financial reach for many, and for equipment and home modifications that may mean the difference between a young ABI sufferer living in a care facility and being able to live at home. Funds that we provide make a genuine difference to the care, comfort and quality of life for these young men and women.
