My Story

27 Jul 2024

This is my fourth year of this challenge. However I have been in hiatus since 2019 due to covid and other factors. Some of my amazing supporters have encouraged me to resume the challenge and hopefully I can rise to the occasion again.

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.

My Challenge

  • GCC completed for 2024
    4 Nov 2024

    Across Australia $3,254,147 was raised and 1,159,431 kms ridden.

    My personal contribution was $3455 raised and 870 kms ridden.

    This is the best I have ever done and is solely through the magnificent support I received from many people over the course of October.

    The money raised will continue the important work of the Children's Medical Research Institute.

    This event has become a personal mission of mine so look for me next year.

    Week 3 completed with rides across 2 states. Weather could have been better but have now ridden 574 kms. So just shy of my original target and consequentially I am extending my target to 750km for the last period of the challenge.

    Your support has been fantastic for the duration of the event and has been the motivator for me achieving my goals.

    2nd week done and dusted or should I say precipitated out.

    Good end to the week though the rainy conditions made for an interesting finish.

    168 kms to go but I’m thinking I’ll have to extend the target. Will see as I get closer.

    Your support probably deserves this.
