I'm Riding For
Noeline and Dante
If by dedicating an hour of my day to cycle in honour of my mum whom passed last year whilst I was doing this same challenge could potentially help save a child’s life then it’s a no brainer for me our children are too precious and cancer is a darkness no child should have to meet
My Story
5 Oct 2025
Last year I I lost my mum to dementia whilst cycling 1009kms last year and decided then that i would dedicate this years ride to mum by cycling the number of months she blessed this earth which is 1033, also an old family friend lost his son, Dante to brain cancer so I thought it important to cycle the months he graced this earth also (252) which is why this year I will cycle 1285kms to celebrate the memory of two beautiful souls.
