I'm Riding For

My dad

Riding in the Great Cycle Challenge this year is my way of honouring my dad — a man of quiet strength who faced cancer with courage for 16 long months. He passed away eight years ago, but his resilience, humour, and love continue to shape who I am.This ride is for him, and for every family who has walked the same difficult path. I pedal with pride, with purpose, and with his memory in my heart.

My Story

1 Oct 2026

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

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.
