I'm Riding For
John Viner - my dad
My father was a cyclist through and through for most of his life. He and I spent many kms on the road together. At 80 years young dad was riding right up until a month before cancer took him from me. Together on our trusty mountain bikes we rode 481kms between Esperance and Albany in 4 days! So this year, once again and in his memory I will be riding during October for the twelfth year in a row, to raise funds to reach my initial goal which was to raise ten thousand dollars in ten years , to support childhood cancer. Dad loved kids and would be proud Im doing this.
My Story
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 600 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.
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.

That time of the year again
3 Aug 2026today I received an email from the team at GCC inviting me to ride again this October for the 12th year in a row. I almost said no as this year has been so full of trauma in our own lives that I find it hard to get enthusiastic. I’ve hardly been in the saddle of any of my four beloved bikes for months. But as always , the thoughts of children suffering from a disease they don’t deserve is enough to motivate me in to dusting off the bikes and inflating those tires. Who knows how far I will ride or how much I will manage to raise in dollars but hey, here I am giving it my best shot. Wish me luck, and thanks in advance to all of you who have followed my journey and made generous donations for kids in need.
