I'm Riding For
Emily, Rebecca, Hassan, Jens, my aunt, uncles & both grandmothers
I’m dedicating my rides to everyone battling cancer and to those we’ve lost. You are always in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I ride for you!
My Story
Did you know that cancer claims more young lives in this country than any other disease? Every year, over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer, and tragically, 3 lose their battle every week. Childhood should be about living, not fighting to survive.
Awareness is the first step toward change. Since 2013, I've been riding every year to support kids in their fight against cancer.
While government funding is limited, it's crucial that we step up to fund the vital scientific research needed to save young lives.
Every donation directly supports the Children's Medical Research Institute in their mission to prevent, diagnose, treat, and ultimately cure childhood cancer.
Together, we can save little lives!

We're halfway there
14 Oct 2024We’re halfway through the month, and I’ve dedicated my entire weekend to clocking in kilometres for the Great Cycle Challenge. I’m excited to share that I’ve now surpassed more than half of my kilometre goal!
Yesterday's beautiful weather saw us riding from the Port Melbourne lookout at Sandridge Beach to Sandringham Pier and back – a total of 38km!
I’ll be honest: by the end of it, I was sore and pretty smashed, especially after battling the wind on the way back. But hey, it’s called the Great Cycle CHALLENGE for a reason! Every kilometre is a challenge I gladly take, knowing the battles these brave kids face against cancer every day.
I also rode to honour all the wonderful and generous donations received from you all on Wednesday’s Double Donations Day. Your support means the world, and I’m so grateful to have you backing this cause!
On to more riding this week – let’s keep fighting for these kids

Help Me Fight Childhood Cancer This September
31 Aug 2024September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the battles faced by children with cancer and the urgent need for research and support. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children, and every year, countless families are affected.
For over a decade, I've been riding to raise funds for children fighting cancer, and with each year, the need for support grows.
Your donations go directly to the Children’s Medical Research Institute, which is dedicated to advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood cancer.
By contributing to this fundraising campaign, you are not just donating money – you are offering hope to children and families who desperately need it. Together, we can help save little lives and bring us closer to a world where no child has to fight cancer.
Thank you for your support. Let’s make this September a month of hope and progress.
Donate today and be a beacon of hope for children and families facing this challenging journey.
