My Story
This October, I am taking part in the 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.
I have been riding since 2017 and my grandsons also joined the Challenge, Edward from 2018-2025 (5-12), and Doug 2019-2025 (4-10) and Hugh (2-9) 2019-2026. Together we ride as team Awesome Kids4kids and have raised almost $130,000 since we started being the second highest fundraising team and individually 12th,13th,14th & 15th in 2024 and 10th & 11th (all 3 boys) in 2025. Aiming for the top 5, or maybe even TOP fundraiser this year.
Two main parts of our fundraising this year are collecting Return & Earn and standing in shopping centres with buckets. Both rely on the generosity of our local community and our support increases year after year. We also write to community groups and businesses requesting sponsorships.
I am saddened and moved when people come up to me and share some of their stories of children or grandchildren who did not survive, but then I am enlightened hearing and meeting those who did.
We are aiming for $54,100 this year. The highest ever individual was Warren in 2019 with $54,076.68, Although Hugh and I will be happy to raise that much between the two of us - We Share!
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.
Thanks for your support.
