My Story

21 Jul 2024

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am having my own battle with Cancer and I would not like to see others go through it. I feel very strongly that we need to find a cure and believe research is the key.

You can help in 3 ways -

1. Join our team,

2. Make a donation.

3. Purchase an entertainment discounts subscription. Click on my special link with 20% being donated to this cause from each purchase https://subscribe.entertainment.com.au/fundraiser/9a67133

Did you know 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.

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.

Thanks for your support and stay tuned for updates.
