I am humbled to be supporting an awesome ambassador of this years Great Cycle challenge. At just 3 years old, this little cutie has been diagnosed in March with melanoma.

My Story

11 Sep 2024

Yes I'm onto it again this October, Its my sixth year in taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

My challenge will by the end of October see my total achievements over the six years of over 5000kms completed and hopefully over $10,000 raised in support of the battle in fighting childhood cancer.

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.

Over the years I have received excellent support from everyone in my quest to contribute to efforts of those researchers who are closer to finding more treatments and cures for childhood cancer.

In advance, may I thankyou and I am deeply grateful for your incredible support - its inspiring.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

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.

Thanks for your support.

    Very light shower to start the day, anyway. It was a nice ride out to Brimbin 31kms. Yesterday, I ran into my old riding partner and supporter Fred.

    PM ride into a NW wind, however a big effort to notch up 40kms which put me 300kms so far.

    What a beautiful day. Big effort and now over the 200kms.

    On my virtual ride, 1000km = Taree to Bundaberg, so it would put me at almost Coffs Harbour. Again, 2 x swoops Cundle Post Office and the new one at the Old Bar roundabout at the southern entry to Taree.

    PM ride for the day 24kms, and with the morning ride the day totalled 62 kms. Bit of off road when I overcooked a corner and left the road at speed. Good bike skills by keeping it upright and returned to the road.😆

    2 Oct 2024

    Overcast cool start to Cundle round about and back to the Purfleet roundabout. 2 x Magpie swoops at Cundle Post Office and the lights near the Big Oyster.

    PM ride was to be the criterium track but it's out of order, so Brimbin and back. Another 35kms will get me over 200kms. Fundraising and riding both going well.
