My Story

3 Oct 2025

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

I will be on another Grey Nomad trip so my aim is to ride 2 Km on arrival and 2 Km before leaving each overnight stop for the 31 days of October. Hence the 100 Km goal. (Succumbed to a “Dicky Knee” so need to reduce no. of Kms to 100! ).

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. As a child I lost a friend in the scout troop to cancer

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.

If this cause appeals to you, please support my challenge by making a tax deductible donation, at any time of the year, through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Resurrect that bike and join the cause? Join the Tol Tol Turtles Team and encourage sponsors?

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support.

“Hi Barrie. Thanks for your donation. Passed your way to and from Kiah, NSW but short for time both ways. (Did a week’s fire relief volunteering stint). Hope you are both well. There is a use-by date on the body so reduced Km this year.”
