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

15 Feb 2025

Hi,

Once again this October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 10th time!

My goal is to pedal 1,025 kilometres throughout October & to raise more than $5,612 to bring my total to over $30,000 during my 10 years.

Over 9 years I have raised more than $24,839 & ridden 13,354 km 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 19th, 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
