My Story

27 Sep 2026

This October, 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 700 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. Since 2016 I have ridden over 5,000 klms and raised over $8,500 to support this research.

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.

My Challenge

Ride completed.

30 Oct 2026

Today I rode the final leg of my 500 km challenge to support research to find cures for childhood cancer. Tomorrow is my 74th birthday and when I first took up the challenge in 2016 I never considered I would be still challenging myself today. Thank you to all those who have supported me over the last decade.
