I'm Riding For
Sjaan and Gerda van de Kraan and Colleen Kotze Anderson
Tante Sjaan and Tante Gerda were sisters. In 2022, Gerda died with cancer on the same day as her sister Sjaan, 3 years earlier. In 2025, my sister's youngest daughter succumbed after a long battle - RIP Colleen. And as we speak, my brother is undergoing treatment for throat chancer My ride is for all of them. ps., Photo is of Tante Sjaan.
My Story
Every year I ride for kids cancer - 12 years and still going. The old days of riding a big challenge across a map are gone - the last one from Melbourne to Shoalhaven Heads in 2022 was hard work (and the weather was wet)
Had an idea to ride the rail trails for Victoria. That has not worked out - maybe this year I am keen to do that to look for orchids. Who knows. Meanwhile I will aim to ride more than I have - harder work now as Gordon is not exactly a bike friendly place to cycle from That is why my target is little - not a lot of time and no fitness.
Cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 600 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
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.
