36 吋獨輪車環台:一場失智症倡議之旅
我是 Grant Swanson(蘇錫偉),我來自英國,但已經在台灣定居生活了三年多。今年 10 月,我將挑戰一項對我而言意義非凡的任務——騎著「36 吋大獨輪車」挑戰全長 968 公里的台灣環島一號線,並預計以 20 天左右的時間完成這場毅力考驗。
這趟名為「OneWheelIsland(獨輪環島)」的旅程,背後連結著我對家人最深刻的情感。
我的爺爺幾年前因失智症離世,而我的奶奶至今也仍在與病症對抗。親眼目睹失智症如何一步步影響患者以及整個家庭,讓我深切體會到照顧者與患者所承受的重擔。因此,我決心用實際行動走上街頭,為失智症家庭發聲並籌集善款。
這次環島挑戰的所有個人開銷(包含裝備、食宿等)均由我個人全額負擔。您透過本平台捐出的每一分錢,都將全數捐給「台灣失智症協會」,直接用於支持失智者及其家屬的專業照護服務。
衷心感謝您加入這趟旅程,您的每一份支持,都將成為台灣失智症家庭最溫暖、最堅實的後盾。

My 36-Inch Unicycle Tour Around Taiwan for Dementia Awareness
My name is Grant Swanson (蘇錫偉). I am originally from the UK, but I’ve proudly called Taiwan my home for over three years. This October, I am taking on the challenge of riding a 36-inch unicycle around the 968-kilometer Cycling Route No. 1, aiming to complete the trip in roughly 20 days.
This journey, titled "OneWheelIsland," is personal to me.
My grandfather passed away from dementia a few years ago, and my grandmother continues to battle the disease today. Having witnessed firsthand the profound impact dementia has on individuals and their loved ones, I decided to using this ride to raise awareness and support for the cause.
I am personally covering 100% of my own expenses—including gear, accommodation, and meals—to ensure that every dollar raised through this campaign goes directly to the Taiwan Alzheimer's Disease Association (TADA). Your contribution will help fund TADA’s vital services, providing warmth, resources, and community support to people navigating the challenges of dementia, and to their families.
Thank you for joining me on this journey and becoming a vital support system for dementia families in Taiwan.
