My Story

9 Aug 2024

Hi,

Once again this October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 9th time!

My goal is to pedal 1,012 kilometres throughout October & to raise more than $3,610 to bring my total to over $24,000 during my 9 years.

Over 8 Years I have raised more than $20,390 & ridden 12,385 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 half marathon at McLaren Vale on the 15th, but it'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

    Well my challenge is starting off with World Championships at Townsville QLD in Duathlon, in both the Sprint & Standard this month. They are a Run-Bike-Run event, Sprint is 5-20-2.5km & the Standard 10-40-5km on Friday 16th & Sunday 18th.

    I'll be wearing the Green & Gold as part of the Australian Team in my Age Category, something I never thought possible until recent years, a few years after starting to ride for GCC when I added running to my fitness.

    So jump on board, make a donation or take up the challenge yourself, it's free & for a great cause.

    Cheers
