I'm Riding For
My Mum
My Mum died of cancer and I hope that by doing this challenge we can all assist in finding a cure, saving children & their parents the pain of such a tragic diagnosis!
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 600 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.
So far, I have ridden 4,314 km across the last 9 years & raised $13,135! Now I am in my 9th year of this challenge. Please help me make it my best yet. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Thanks for your support. It's amazing! Carolyn

To everyone who has donated already, thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Your support keeps me pedalling when it's hot, my legs ache & my butt is sick of sitting in the saddle. It reminds me, it's not about me, as my body will recover. It's about children suffering. Parents struggling to cope with seeing their child in pain & reality of a cancer diagnosis. I'm doing this for them, to raise money to find a cure for children's cancer! You are all hero's 💐Kindest regards, Carolyn 😄
