My Story

8 Sep 2025

This is my fifth year of participation in this challenge.

Together we have raised over $11000 for the Children's Medical Research Institute.

This year the bulk of my rides will be done in Victoria with my initial target set at 800kms.

However I will be stepping outside my comfort zone with an additional aspirational target which I will determine as my riding progresses.

Cancer is a scourge on our society and especially more so when children are inflicted with the disease.

Every dollar raised will enable continued important research into childhood cancers.

Your continued support is very much appreciated.

The serious riding begins

Ride 3 was a cold start with a significant headwind. However the countryside was glorious with the many shades of green and the contrasting fields of yellow canola flowers.

Thank you one and all.

Donation target increased

1 Oct 2025

It goes without saying that the support I've had has been awesome. My first ride of my pledge to ride 800km was today and since that ride further donations have meant that my previous target has been met.

I have therefore increased the target to $3000. At this rate my distance pledge may need a review but first things first.
