The 5,300-Kilometer Ride That Ended One Day Before Death

Bob Montgomery, 82, cycled 5,300 kilometers across Australia with terminal MND, then died the next day. But the real story isn’t the $300,000 he raised—it’s how he reclaimed control over his own death. His final ride redefines what it means to die with purpose, proving that the end of life can be the most powerful chapter.
