My Story

1 Oct 2026

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

This is my 12th year and by now, all of you know the drill.

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.

Thanks for your support.
