My Story

4 Oct 2024

This October, I am taking part in my 9th Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! We took on the challenge, inspired by our friend Charlotte who beat cancer and all the other beautiful kids from PMH. This year has been exceptionally difficult for two beautiful families we know who have lost a son and a daughter to Brain Cancer and we will ride for them.

Sadly, we lost a very good friend who has been part of our team for 8 years and we will be riding with Dave's family to honour his memory and his great achievements in fundraising for the kids and saving little lives. I hope we can channel some of Dave's energy to get us through this. https://greatcyclechallenge.com.au/Riders/DavidElliott

This YouTube video from my 1st GCC sums up why this is so close to our hearts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE2cqxRi-pU

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.
