Fund Raising Background

Mitch raised over $100 000 with the 12h event for the bereaved family of Craig Percival, who died of a heart attack of 2016. Additionally, the focus of the media attention was to raise awareness for depression. Mitch helped raise $2.7 million dollars for BCNA (Breast Cancer Network Australia) by riding to Perth (from Melbourne) with footy show star Shane Crawford in 2014.
