Matthew rides again

 

Growing up I'd always look forward to my grandpa driving down from Sydney and taking me and my brothers for a bike ride. As we all got older the separation between our abilities was obvious, my grandpa and brothers would often ride 60 kilometers into the city while I'd manage 20 to 30 at the most. In my mid teens however I started to have some serious arrhythmia issues and could no longer ride.

 

13 months after my heart transplant I got back on my bike, better than ever, half my life later!

 

Making up for lost years, I visited my Grandpa in Adelaide and rode into the city with him.


While the Tour de Transplant is a personal challenge for myself having my transplant and living close to the Alfred has helped me understand the importance of the Second Chance Accomodation Program.

 


For the first time in my life my health is amazingly stable and I was able to travel overseas. After many years of watching it late at night on TV I was also able to see the finish of the Tour de France in Paris on the Champs-Élysées.
