I'm Riding For
Everyone, young or old, cancer needs to be stopped!
To all the young & old who have or are suffering from cancer, this is for you. Hope is all I can provide however I do it willingly.
My Story
Hi,
Once again this October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 11th time!
My goal is to pedal 1540 km throughout October & to raise more than $4411 to bring my total to $36,000 during my 11 years.
Over past 10 years I have raised $31,589 & ridden 14,652km for this cause.
Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia - over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year & over 3 die each week.
To show my support, I am taking on this 30-day challenge to support cancer research & give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
As usual it will be a tough month as it also includes running a 10km race at McLaren Vale on the 18th, as well as the weekly 5km parkrun, however that's nothing compared to what these brave kids face every day.
Please make a donation through my fundraising page to support my challenge.
All funds raised will support Children's Medical Research Institute in their work to develop treatments & finding a cure for ALL childhood cancers & even adult ones.
Cheers
Peter S

And we're off
2 Oct 2026Well day one was a washout so a trainer ride was invoked. Trainer rides suck however cancer sucks worse.
Anyway we soldier on just like the poor kids who have to fight for life every day & for the 3 who don't make it each week.
Ride on people
