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.

In my 8th year of riding (my 4th with POTS and Post Viral fatigue). I miss the days of spending all my spare time pedalling on the roads or on a trainer at home….. I have been too unwell to work or do pretty much any normal stuff, but keeping my leg muscles toned to help with POTS, and exercising Stormie the Jack x Tenterfield terrier on my folding bike over winter has been a win win. I struggle to walk too far and my bike has been like a wheelchair. I also use a recumbent bike as sitting and standing trigger POTS symptoms…. So in previous years it was a time commitment, now it is a pacing activity to strike a balance between doing enough but not overdoing it! Hard for a competitive overachiever!

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.
