I'm Riding For
Glenn Bradbury
Though you left us too soon, your presence and love remain etched in our hearts forever. You were more than a father; you were a guiding light, a pillar of strength, and a source of endless inspiration. Your courage in facing cancer with dignity and grace was awe-inspiring, even in the darkest moments. We feel the void you left, but we carry your spirit with us as we navigate life's journey. Your unwavering fight against this terrible illness fuels our determination to make a difference. We'll continue to battle against cancer in your honour, knowing that young families facing this struggle deserve a brighter future. As we cherish the memories we shared, we find solace in knowing that you're watching over us. Your legacy lives on through our actions, as we strive to create a world where cancer's grip is loosened. Rest peacefully, Dad. Your love guides us, and your courage emboldens us. Until we meet again, know that we will never stop fighting to make a difference.
My Story
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.
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.

The Great Cycle Challenge 2024: Back in the Saddle for a Cause Close to My Heart
1 Oct 2024It’s that time of year again—the Great Cycle Challenge 2024 has officially kicked off, and I’m proud to be back in the saddle for my third year supporting this incredible cause. Over the past two years, I’ve ridden a total of 2063 kilometres and raised $10,488, and this year, I’m pushing myself further with a goal of 500 kilometres and $2500 raised by the end of October.
This challenge is not just about cycling—it’s about fighting for a future where no child has to face cancer. For those who may not know, the Great Cycle Challenge raises funds for the Children’s Medical Research Institute, and the money we raise goes directly to research that helps develop better treatments and, ultimately, find a cure for childhood cancer.
Why I Ride
Cancer remains the largest killer of children from disease in Australia, with over 700 children diagnosed every year and, heartbreakingly, three young lives lost every week. It’s a reality that no family should have to face. That’s why I ride—to help change those statistics and give kids the brighter, healthier futures they deserve.
This year, I’ve made sure there are no excuses. With the unpredictable weather and a few injuries slowing me down last year, I’ve invested in an indoor trainer to ensure I can hit my riding target, rain or shine.
How You Can Get Involved
There are a couple of ways you can support me in this challenge:
1. Ride with me! If you’re keen to join the movement, hop on your bike this October and set your own riding goal. It’s a great way to stay active while supporting an amazing cause.
2. Donate to my ride and help me reach my fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference, and later this month, we’ll be holding a double donation day, where all donations will be matched by corporate sponsors—so keep an eye out for that to maximise your impact!
Let’s Do This Together
Whether you choose to ride or donate, your support will make a real difference. Over the last decade, the Great Cycle Challenge has brought together a community of over 107,000 riders from across the country, who have collectively ridden more than 31 million kilometres and raised over $42 million to fight kids’ cancer. It’s a huge collective effort, and I’m proud to be part of it once again.
I’m excited to see where this year’s challenge takes me, and I can’t wait to keep you all updated on my progress. I’ll be sharing regular updates throughout October, so follow along as I pedal toward my goals. Together, let’s kick cancer’s butt! 💪
Stay tuned for more, and thank you in advance for your support!

“What an inspiring message! It’s incredible to see your dedication and the impact you’ve already made through the Great Cycle Challenge. The statistics about kids and cancer are heartbreaking, and it’s amazing to know you’re making a difference in their lives. I totally understand how tough things can be financially, but I believe that even the smallest contributions add up to something significant—especially on Double Donation Day! Your goal of riding 500 km and raising $2,500 is so admirable, and we are here to support you in any way we can. Let’s rally together to give those kids the brighter futures they deserve. Keep pedaling strong!”
