I'm Riding For
Gae and Tony (sister and brother)
I lost both siblings and several friends to cancer within the last eight years. I am supporting this cause to help catch this scourge early.
My Story
2025 marks my tenth year of participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to support kids' cancer research this October! This is my TENTH year of riding to raise awareness and funds for this fantastic cause. And my TENTH year of unapologetically asking and begging for money for this cause. I have ridden 3,934 km during this time, and you have donated $14,026.36. This is a good number, but kids keep getting sick with cancer. Hence, I continue to beg, cajole, and request donations.
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, three die every week. I lost my brother and sister to cancer and can say with heartfelt anger and emotion F.U. Cancer. I can only imagine the pain of losing children to this scourge.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So, I am riding and raising funds to support the Children's Medical Research Institute in its work in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support my challenge by donating through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Together, we can save little lives.
Thanks for your support.
