My Story

16 Oct 2026

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

I’m back , last year was different as I was recovering from a knee injury- but now - slow and steady I’m back on my Bike - so get on board and help me make a difference!!!!

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.
