My Story

30 Sep 2026

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

This is the third year I have done this challenge. In 2021, things went well and I rode 1200km. 2022, not so good, October was very wet and I caught Covid part way in.

This year I am hoping for good weather, lots of riding and fund raising. I appreciate any donations.

Because cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia. Right now, 90 children are diagnosed every month, 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.
