I'm Riding For
Lau Nefdt
My beautiful, ever joyful, positive cousin, best friend and soulmate Lau. The only way I will ever remember you is this full of life and joy. No matter the distance or time, we always instantly felt at home with each other and you will forever remain with me in my heart and your nature and beauty live on in your special children and grandchildren. I love you forever, and will miss u until we meet again. Your cousy "Rainy"
My Story
This October 2026, I am again taking part in the annual 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.
Together, we can save little lives.
If you donate today special friends, your donation will be matched.
Thanks for your support over the years, every little bit makes a big difference.
Love Lorraine

Thank you sponsors, made it!!!
31 Oct 2026Today was the last of My challenge rides. A favourite for me and our Saturday morning Champions group.
The rainforest scenery, the birdlife, the views and the fun company makes this an incredible ride and experience in nature. Never tire of all that nature displays in the Tweed Valley. Thank you to all my amazing sponsors, we raised over $2500 towards this worthwhile cause. I could not have done this without your incredible encouragement, support and generosity. I'm so grateful. A huge thank you to all of you. Love Lor ❤️

Currumbin Valley in the rain
24 Oct 2026There are some wonderful advantages to getting out of a comfy bed on a rainy day. Currumbin Valley in the rain is a natural treat and great company and belly laughs make the experience so worthwhile.
God bless all the beautiful children fighting cancer with this same joy in spite of their struggle 🙏 ❤️
