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.

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.

    “Thank you so much Tavia. You’ll never know how much I appreciated seeing my email saying “you have a donation”. To all of you who have donated. This has been so much harder than I imagined it would be. A bridge down on our route today pushed us up to 110kms into a 20km/hr headwind in pouring rain. I guess it wasn’t supposed to be easy so thank you heaps xx”
