My Story

17 Sep 2026

I am riding again, for the 9th consecutive year, in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! The ride actually begins in October but donations can flow any time.

https://greatcyclechallenge.com.au/Riders/BillBook

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.

Thanks for your support.

(I'll update my photo when we arrive at October.)
