On February 15, 2013, Samuel Johnson set out on an epic unicycle quest around Australia, all for his sister, Connie.
Connie has fought cancer three times in her life and Samuel has been with her every step of the way. This time things are different. Connie is dying and she doesn’t have much time left.
Faced with the fight of her life, she set Samuel the toughest challenge she could think of. It started as a joke in the kitchen. It turned into a promise.
The goal? To set a new World Record for the most distance travelled on a unicycle, to raise $1 million for the Garvan Research Foundation and to spread Connie’s message of breast cancer awareness - Don't Fall Into The Booby Trap, Be Breast Aware.
Samuel consulted all the experts, took none of their advice and set off on the challenge of a lifetime. He made a promise and was determined to keep it!
