My Story

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' 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.

And 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.

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support.

My Challenge

  • Day 5
    5 Oct 2024

    Very wet day,had to work until 3pm then went to a local brewery with my friend Ben and we both had a pint of local Ale,it was very nice,came home and decided to go for a ride.Probably not a great idea straight after an ale but I managed to pump out 8 kiometres anyway. Tomorrows Sunday,maybe a sleep in then "hit the road". Why was the bicyclist a tee-totaller ?? Because he couldn't Handle Bars!!!

  • Day 4
    4 Oct 2024

    Woke up a bit sore this morning but my teammate Aidan got me going and we both did 8km. When say 8km,where we live is on dirt roads with hills,not bitumen or bike paths. We have to avoid potholes,puddles and up and down quite steep roads. Going down is ok but uphill really tests you. Nice to go out on a bikeride with my son though. Thankyou for all your generous donations. For those who would like to donate,please keep in mind that $10 is awesome,it is the thought that counts. Whats it called when a bike rider gets mad about not riding enough kilometres,complains about car drivers not avoiding them and that their seat is so uncomfortable?? A vicious cycle!!

    Beautiful day for a ride and after 10km ride today and total of 25km for the first 3 days I am proud of myself and.happy that my body is coping well with the step up in excercise. I have more energy and I am sleeping very well indeed. Tomorrow,depending on weather,I may ramp up my kilometres and try for a 15km ride!!! By the way! Why are bank tellers not allowed to ride a Bicycle???? They tend to lose their balance!!!!!!!!

    1 Oct 2024

    Excited to challenge myself on how far I can cycle in October. 100km is only my first target to achieve. I want to blow that target out of the water soon. Today was a hard day at work. 10 hour shift-7am till 5pm but when I got home,rather than sitting on the couch,I jumped on the bike and smashed out my first 7km. Bit sore but I havent been on the bike this year. As the month progresses I will get stronger and go further.

    “Thankyou Margaret,its a win-win for the kids cancer charity but also to keep me looking "sensational". I have only done this for 4 days and I am a bit worried that if I keep improving my impressive physique, I may have to find a way to keep the fans from approaching me wherever I go. Do you think I may be paranoid !!! NO!!! Once again thankyou for your donation. By the way, How did the barber win the bike race?? He took a shortcut!!!!”

    “Thanks Angela,I appreciate your sponsorship and so will the kids that are having a tough time when they should be enjoying their childhood like we did. I am looking forward to all the initial pain that exercising can give but I know as the month goes on I will end up stronger. I will keep you informed with my progress and give you some tips,tricks and the occasional dad joke!! I will start the ball rolling. What is the difference between a poorly dressed man on a bicycle and a well dressed man on a tricycle? Attire”
