Hi, my name is Patrick McSwiney.  I work as an ENT surgeon on the South Coast of NSW.  

I want to help raise money for Brett Connellan, who was attacked by a shark on Wednesday 30th March 2016, while surfing at Bombo Beach.  He sustained horrific injuries, losing most of the quad muscle on his left leg. He had a series of major operations spending 5 weeks in hospital.  He is now embarking on his long and expensive road to recovery.

I am taking part in a cycle ride from London to Rome (21 May to 20 June) which I am dedicating to Brett.  You can follow the ride on my blog:

I am hoping to raise funds for Brett's long recovery and would be very grateful and thankful for any donations.
