I'm Riding For

ALL the little kids who are currently in the fight of their lives.

Our loved ones who have battled and won inspire me to keep pedaling, while those who have sadly lost the fight - Mum (pictured), my Aunty Joyce, my sister-in-law Evelyn, and my lovely neighbour Barbara, are also in my thoughts. Due to research, cancer treatments are improving all the time. One day we WILL have a cure. This is why I ride.

My Story

30 Sep 2024

Can you help me to reach $30,000 in my 10th Great Cycle Challenge?

Over the past 9 Octobers I have ridden 4811 kilometres while my many generous sponsors have helped me to raise $26,751 for cancer research. Every turn of the pedals is in the hope that we can eventually eradicate childhood cancer - the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia.

So, I am riding and raising funds to support the Children's Medical Research Institute to continue their awesome work. Your donation will support life-saving research into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of childhood cancer, and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Times are tough though, and not everyone can find those extra $$$ - but you can still support me by sharing my page on Facebook or telling people about my ride throughout October.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we can save little lives. Let's kick cancer's butt!!!
