All the kids fighting cancer!

My Story

16 Sep 2025

This October will be my 11th year in taking part of the Great Cycle Challenge to help fight kids' cancer!

There’s NOTHING nice about cancer and the journey anyone has to go through especially for little kids and in a time like now!

Im riding 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.

It’s never nice asking but I feel so much reason to partake in this worthy cause and just help a teeny bit!!! So....I’m really hoping you can kindly help out in a teeny way too.....by supporting my challenge by making a donation through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Together, we can help to save little lives.

Thanks again for all your unwavering support.X. (LETS HELP MAKE A TEENY DIFFERENCE!!!)

My Challenge

A month to remember! (October 2025 - GCC daily rides!)

31 Oct 2025

There were many solo rides around home, lots of magpie swoops, some windy days, lots of elevations (7049m to be exact!), a variety of upbeat music and singing along, Lycra and padded shorts because they really help your butt stay comfortable in the saddle (47hrs 15mins all up endured!😳🚴🏼‍♀️🙌🏼), photos to capture the memories, 3 new GCC jerseys sent my way which I loved/appreciated!….but this high of riding for The Great Cycle Challenge and remembering ’WHY’ I sign up each year is what drives me to raise awareness, fundraise and show some support. Kids are precious. Kids deserve the best. We can all help a little. There are lots of charities/communities but my chosen one is The Great Cycle Challenge because I love what they do and keep these special kids and their wonderful families supported. All the stories and journeys of cancer treatments are heart wrenching….these chapters deserve help/support! Seeing the kids smiles/signs and posts remind us that life can change at any time. Thankyou for being part of this fabulous GCC family/community.🙏🏼🧡

THANKYOU for supporting my riding throughout October for the Great Cycle Challenge community!

As a whole community we have clocked up 1,031,408km and raised $2,847,256 (so far) to give kids with cancer the brighter futures they deserve! Every donation helps and is much appreciated.

I’m proud to have pedalled 1111kms for my 11th year legacy of signing up to ride! It’s the biggest ever month of cycling that I have achieved and it’s all those little brave kids faces that keep me showing up! I also really wanted to log a ride every single day throughout October which I did!

Your support has kept me going and your kindness in contributing to the GCC is truly heartfelt.

Cancer is cruel and does not discriminate….but these beautiful kids deserve to be living their best days and the GCC team do a fantastic job….thanks for being part of such a worthy cause.x💫🙏🏼🧡🚴🏼‍♀️👊🏻👏🏻🥰
