I'm Riding For

A young Mother with her life in front of her cruelly taken from us by cancer in 1990. If even 1 person, 1 child or adult is saved from her experience this ride and your support will be worth it many times over.

My Story

30 Sep 2024

This October, for the third time, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 600 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

And so I am riding and raising funds to support the Children's Medical Research Institute to continue their work into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support my challenge by making a donation through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Together, we can save little lives.

I'm taking on fewer kilometres this year because my 71year old body is showing some signs of wear and tear.

Thanks for your support.

My Challenge

  • Ride 3, Day 4 of GCC
    3 Oct 2024

    Earlier ride today, set off a bit after 7.30. Morning traffic was heavier than I expected.

    Wetlands ride was great, so nice to be in the forest park.

    It was a shorter ride today but more challenging with a couple of solid climbs.

    Weather wasn't as kind with a decent headwind on the last hill. That headwind was nothing compared to what the kids I'm riding for face every day.

    Please support the GCC.

    What a great day to start the GCC. Weather couldn't have been better with clear blue skies overhead, virtually no wind, and 23°C.

    The others on the path, walkers and cyclists, were all happy and friendly.

    Feeling good for the rest of the challenge

    Day 1 , near perfect.
