Mike cycles through the desert for charity 

Published on 11 October, 2012 

Graduate Mike Dalton has not only completed the 2012 Simpson Desert Mountain Bike Challenge to raise funds for The Royal Flying Doctor Service. He also managed to finish fourth overall.

Mike spent many months training for what is a very challenging event due to the changing desert climatic conditions.

"I'm really pleased; it's a significant personal achievement," he said.

"So far all riders and support crews including medical staff have raised about $42,000 for the RFDS."

Mike is now a Water Quality Coordinator for Fitzroy River Water. He studied a Bachelor of Applied Science - Chemistry from 1975 - 1977 at a CQUniversity predecessor (Capricornia Institute of Advanced Education) and attended his graduation ceremony in 1978.
