Seven-year-old Laurence Hoolahan is aiming to set a personal best distance when he rides his bike from Mandurah to Perth to raise money for a Filipino children’s charity. Laurence will complete the 72-kilometre journey on Saturday 7 May, accompanied by his mother Lisa Hoolahan and fellow members of the 1st Falcon Scouts group. Laurence previously raised $1116 through his cycling, travelling from Mandurah to Baldivis in September last year. This year, he's aiming for $3000. His mum, a cyclist herself, has been a constant encouragement to Laurence and his philanthropy, as well as his ability. As part of his fundraising, Laurence has stopped by many local businesses with collection tins, hoping community generosity will help him raise three times as much with this ride. Laurence, who is naturally humble about his achievements, is looking forward to supporting a good cause and showing his friends what good a little wherewithal can do. Laurence’s scout troup leader Cindy Tams said he had been a role model to other Joeys. You can also donate to Laurence’s GoFundMe page: gofundme.com/3pvk4shn
