Cycling is not your average painkiller but for Louise Curtis, it is the ultimate endorphin.
Battling brain cancer, a crippling foot injury and the impact of a cycling accident that left her with severe concussion, Curtis is in constant pain.
Traditional painkillers do not work and only cycling gives her the relief from pain that her body needs.
She is currently taking part in the Ronald McDonald House to House challenge and is aiming to cycle 1500 kilometres in March to raise $750.

I am a lively girl with lots of energy that requires a home that has large breed, dog experience and is keen on furthering my training as I have not had much previously. Dog obedience classes would be great for me. I have been mixed with other dogs here at the Centre so I could go to a home with another dog - one that is social and happy to share their home and life with me. I am not suited to a home with cats and younger children as I don't have the most appropriate manners. I sometimes forget that I am not a tiny dog.
When I am one on one with people, I slow down and enjoy any love and cuddles you can provide. I am eager to learn new things when I'm not being a total goofball! I may need someone around for parts of the day, just until I am more settled into my routine and to help further my toilet training. If you think I am the dog for you, apply to adopt me today!"
