My Story

11 Oct 2026

It's unreal the amount of support I've had. I certainly didn't believe the $20k target would be reached this early but your awesome effort has achieved this milestone.

Congratulations to all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have crunched the numbers and realise that with the awesome support from you that the $20000 target is within reach this campaign. If we realise this it will be a huge achievement over the 6 years of our participation in this event.

Together we can do this. Lets do it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my sixth year of participation in this challenge.

Together we have raised over $16429 for the Children's Medical Research Institute.

This year I have pledged to ride 800kms and raise $2500.

Cancer is a scourge on our society and especially more so when children are inflicted with the disease.

Every dollar raised will enable continued important research into childhood cancers.

Your continued support is very much appreciated.

Good to get back into the saddle after a week of inclement weather. Today not much better being heavily o’cast, windy, coolish and spotty intermittent showers.

Looking forward to some nicer weather.

Cloudy coolish start breaking into a warm bright sunny day. Avoided hills as much as possible as feeling somewhat flat but wanted to get to the half way point of my kilometre pledge. 400km done and dusted.
