My Story

29 Aug 2025

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise money for cancer research.

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of young people in Australia – over 600 are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.

These young people should be living life and not fighting for it.

I am also 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 lives.

Thanks for your support.

“Thanks again Chris. I only wish that we hadn’t booked a holiday in NZ from 23-31 October! 200km in 22 days now. Such a great cause though.”
