What started as “Halfway around the World” in 2012 has now become an “Around the World” intrepid and heroic ride for Dementia Foundation for Spark of Life in honour of David's mum Althea, who had dementia.💜⁠
⁠
David Wren, a Professional Golfer, has travelled extensively around the world with a personal passion for visiting developing countries. Having climbed throughout the Himalayas and completed bike crossings of Vietnam, Tibet, Nepal and South America, he set a challenge to ride ‘halfway round’ the world to raise money for Dementia Foundation for Spark of Life.⁠
⁠
David says: " From my point of view once I complete my crossing of the USA, I have completed a circumnavigation of the globe totaling roughly 28,000 kms." ⁠
⁠
The upcoming ride this May 2024 is from Las Vegas to Tulsa. David is on the road for 23 days and the plan is to complete the 2000kms plus in that time. If you live in these areas, and see David on his ride, please cheer him on🎉⁠

Manage your cholesterol levels. For the sake of your heart, your total cholesterol should be under 200 mg/dl. If your cholesterol is high, take action to get it under control.

Manage your blood pressure. For protection from dementia, your blood pressure should be below 120/80. If you have high blood pressure, it’s important to do what it takes to get it down.

Manage your blood sugar. It’s recommended that you have a fasting plasma glucose level below 100 mg/dl. If you are pre-diabetic or have type 2 diabetes, it is essential that you get your condition under control to protect your health.

Exercise regularly. For protection from dementia, it is recommended that you engage in physical activity that raises your heart rate at least twice a week.

Maintain a healthy weight. Ideally, your BMI should be under 25 for optimal heart health.
