I'm Riding For
River Jase Chan-Smit

In Memory of our beautiful Son "River Jase" 2003 - 2007
My Story
This October, I’m riding to fight kids’ cancer.
I’m taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to pedal 500 kilometres throughout the month — raising funds for life-saving research into childhood cancer.
Why am I doing this?
In 2007, we lost our beautiful son, River Jase Chan-Smit, to brain cancer. It’s a heartbreak no family should ever endure. Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among children in Australia, with three young lives lost every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
I ride for River. I ride for the children who didn’t make it. And I ride for those still enduring the pain of treatment — their courage is nothing short of extraordinary.
Your support helps the Children’s Medical Research Institute continue its vital work in preventing, diagnosing, treating, and ultimately curing childhood cancer.
Please support my challenge by donating through my fundraising page. Together, we can give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
I appreciate your support.
