My Story

3 Aug 2025

In October, I am again riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer. This will be my sixth Challenge!

Right now, 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.

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.

This year I'm challenging myself to ride 125km, the same last year and have set my fundraising target at $1,000.

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support.
