My Story

4 Oct 2026

I have crunched the numbers and realise that with the awesome support from you that the $20000 target is within reach this campaign. If we realise this it will be a huge achievement over the 6 years of our participation in this event.

Together we can do this. Lets do it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my sixth year of participation in this challenge.

Together we have raised over $16429 for the Children's Medical Research Institute.

This year I have pledged to ride 800kms and raise $2500.

Cancer is a scourge on our society and especially more so when children are inflicted with the disease.

Every dollar raised will enable continued important research into childhood cancers.

Your continued support is very much appreciated.

GCC26 Ride 7 & 8

9 Oct 2026

Ride 7 was a short dash to my Reformer Pilates class. Well every kilometre counts.

Ride 8 was with a Newcastle Group I occasionally ride with called the Geriactives. Perfect weather and great company and different territory made for a very appealing ride and I’m knocking off those kilometres.
