So we find ourselves back in October, which means warmer weather, more daylight and of course swooping magpies!

So what a perfect opportunity to once again ride for the Great Cycle Challenge and face my magpie fears, all to help children facing an even greater fear of 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.

So most of you know the drill - funds raised go to support the Children's Medical Research Institute to continue their work into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Stay tuned for Kick Cancer's Butt Day - Wednesday October 9 - which is the best day to make donations as online donations received this day are matched by some generous supporters up to $800,000.

I am not raising many funds here, but my Son & Daughter are also riding so perhaps go over to their pages and donate to them:

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support and I will try to put some blog posts up at various stages with my musings as per previous years.
