We hope all the mentors and mentees in our Women in Transport Asset Management Mentoring Program had a great day on Saturday with it being International Mentoring Day!

AMCouncil member, Mark Mackenzie, is currently taking part in the Ride for Compassion Coast to Coast, cycling over 4,300 kilometres across Australia from Perth to Newcastle, raising money for Highly Vulnerable Children in doing so. He is currently in Ceduna having ridden about 2,500km so far. Lycopodium, the sponsors of the AMPEAK16 water bottles will be pleased to know that one has sustained Mark as he has traversed across the Nullarbor. It has been a hard ride enduring a few constant days of strong winds. Mark hopes to finish around October 17th and we look forward to his next update.
