I'm Riding For

Lucy

Lucy

Lucy McAleer was a bright, friendly girl who loved life. She was creative, positive and a great friend to all. In July 2021 just two days after her 8th birthday, Lucy was diagnosed with a rare form of brain tumour called D.I.P.G. (Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma), which is inoperable and incurable. After a brave eight-month fight, Lucy lost her battle on March 12th 2022. Lucy’s Legacy is all about raising awareness and much needed funds to advance research and support children and their families affected by this fatal form of cancer. Lucy is remembered and missed dearly by her parents Brian and Nicole, and her sisters Olivia and Amelia, as well as her grandparents, great-grandfather, aunties, uncles, many cousins and friends.

My Story

8 Oct 2024

I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This will be the 8th year I have ridden

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.

I am also riding in memory of Lucy McAleer, the daughter of of colleague, who died in 2022, due to a rare brain tumor

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.
