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
23 Oct 2024
To my many generous supporters who have already donated: Thank you so much for supporting my ride. You have projected me to #3 fundraiser in Tassie!!! Thank you!!!
If I reach my updated fundraising goal of $4000 I am going to get a tattoo!!! No more clean skin.
If you know of anyone who may like to support my cause (or just see me in pain), please share my link with them. Their donation will support life-saving research into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of childhood cancer.
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!!!
My Legacy
Here's my personal impact over 10 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
