My Story

1 Oct 2024

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.

Please support my challenge by making a donation through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

On my profile page you'll see me riding my partner's half-bike, the thing is super difficult to ride - like riding a unicycle without a seat - and we basically brought it played with it and it's been collecting dust ever since.

My challenge to the community is that if I raise over $2,500 I will ride the half-bike (https://halfbikes.com/) for 10km during the month.

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support.
