My Story

10 Jun 2026

Hi,

Once again this October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 11th time!

My goal is to pedal 1103 kilometres throughout October & to raise more than $4411 to bring my total to $36,000 during my 11 years.

Over past 10 years I have raised $31,589 & ridden 14,652km for this cause.

Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia - over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year & over 3 die each week.

To show my support, I am taking on this 30-day challenge to support cancer research & give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

As usual it will be a tough month as it also includes running a 10km race at McLaren Vale on the 18th, as well as the weekly 5km parkrun, however that's nothing compared to what these brave kids face every day.

Please make a donation through my fundraising page to support my challenge.

All funds raised will support Children's Medical Research Institute in their work to develop treatments & finding a cure for ALL childhood cancers & even adult ones.

Cheers

Peter S
