I'm Riding For
Jim
Every year we seem to lose more and more people we know to this hideous disease so this year I dedicate my ride to Jim - A wonderful bloke, father and grand father who always gave back to those less fortunate. #belikeJim
My Story
Whilst I’m still fighting the good fight and awaiting liver transplant I have decided to take part in the Great Cycle Challenge again to fight kids' cancer which is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia. This will raise funds for kids who are doing it even tougher than me so that one day, kids will never have to face what I am at present. Each year over 600 children are diagnosed with cancer and sadly, 3 die every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it. So whilst I am trying to get as "match fit" as possible for a pending liver transplant operation, I am riding in my loungeroom on a recumbent bike (as part of a team) 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.
Finally, also please remember to consider, act and discuss the important issue of organ and tissue donation

Thanks for your support.
Cheers Dave
