TeamOfHope – No Broken Promises

My name is Adrian, and last year I rode 1,469 kilometres in the Great Cycle Challenge, raising $3,624 for kids’ cancer research. Thank you to everyone who supported that ride — it was one of the most meaningful journeys of my life. Most of those kilometres were on the Mundabiddi Trail, from Perth to Albany. It was tough — but never as tough as what kids with cancer face every single day.

That challenge came after an unforgettable August 2024, when I rode with my dad Herb from Amsterdam to Bruges and then from Bordeaux to Sète to support Diabetes WA. Soon after, in September, I set off on my own bike Bluey from Roncesvalles to Santiago along the Camino de Santiago, riding all the way to the edge of the world at Finisterre — a journey to find myself and rediscover my strength.

This year, I promised to ride 500 kilometres and raise even more funds for kids fighting cancer. But just weeks before the challenge, life threw me a curveball — I broke my leg while dancing!

Not all kids get the chance to dance, run, or play the way they should. Every day, they’re in the fight of their lives. So even though I can’t complete the ride on my own bike this year, I’m not breaking my promise.

That’s why I created TeamOfHope – No Broken Promises. Together with my family and friends, we’re riding 1,000 km as a team — and if we can, we’ll stretch it to 2,000 km! Every pedal stroke we take is for the kids. Every kilometre logged is another step toward a brighter future for them. And every dollar goes to the incredible team at the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI).

This isn’t just my ride anymore. It’s our ride. A ride of resilience, love, and community.

“So come and join TeamOfHope and help us Kick Cancer’s Butt, together with everyone in the Great Cycle Challenge, for the incredible kids we ride for.” 💙
