I'm Riding For

My Mum

My Mum died of cancer and I hope that by doing this challenge we can all assist in finding a cure, saving children & their parents the pain of such a tragic diagnosis!

My Story

17 Oct 2024

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.

So far, I have ridden 3517 km across the last 7 years & raised $10,522! Now I am in my 7th year of this challenge. Please help me make it my best yet. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Thanks for your support. It's amazing! Carolyn

    “Hi Deb, yes, I'm peddling hard and certainly don't want to fall off! I am past what l wanted to ride per week, so lm happy. Although the 2 x 17 km days at Halls Gap were pretty tough with the wind & rain. Chunk it though is the only way to make it through the month. Thanks for your generosity with your donation. Very much appreciated. Have to catch up with the crew soon. Luv Carolyn 💖”

It's great to be riding along with a cockatoos flying next to you. The wildlife is so special. Must catch up for coffee ☕ when you are free.”
