I'm Riding For
friends and a neighbour plus 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, my friend Siegi, 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
I know I said that 2024 might be my last GCC . . . I even got my first tattoo to mark my 10th and final year of participating in the challenge. But then here we are in 2025 and I just registered again!
I couldn't help myself - so have set my goals lower this year, to avoid flooding your feeds with more shameless begging. My loyal supporters probably won't be able to help themselves though - you know who you are! Try and hold out until Kick Cancer's Butt Day though!
Let's hope that we can eventually eradicate childhood cancer - the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia.
Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we can save little lives. Let's kick cancer's butt!!!

It's Double Donations Day!!! Again!!!
22 Oct 2025Yes, they have snuck in another chance to increase the funds raised for the CMRI to research cancer treatments and to work towards a cure.
Thank you sponsors!!! I'm sorry, but we were not made aware of the additional chance for matched donations until yesterday afternoon. I guess it depends on when the corporate sponsors who match fundraising come on board.
Having passed my increased fundraising goal of $1000, it's time to up the ante AGAIN!
New goal: $1500 - and I will pedal another 50km if I get there!!!
Go on - make me sweat (more)!!!

Time to raise the bar!!!
16 Oct 2025Having smashed my $500 fundraising goal and with less than 40 km to pedal to reach my 200 km goal, I thought it might be time to raise the bar!
If I can reach the new $1000 fundraising goal, I will add another 50 km to my distance. If I reach $1500 I will add another 100 km!!!
Reaching my new $1000 goal will also mean that I have raised over $32,000 over 11 years of pedalling in the GCC!
Go ahead - make me sweat!!!
