Same as last year but still true: I don’t do a lot for Charity these days - just this and anything to with MS. Oh and you should feel free to hit me up for a donation if you join I. One of these group challenge gigs. I’ve seen what these diseases do to adults, we all have. This one is about kids who should have a long life stretching out before them. If you had to limit your Charity to just one cause a year, then why not this one. You do the donations and I’ll take care of the riding - you know it makes sense! :)

My Story

8 Oct 2025

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

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

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.

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

Thanks for your support.

PS My sister Heather is very much alive, having survived her cancer. I just can't work out how to edit the "I'm Riding For" message.

My Challenge

  • First ride today
    8 Oct 2025

    It's a week into the challenge and I'm finally on my bike. This is not due to lack of commitment but rather a lovely time without a bike on Kangaroo Island.

    Hang on to your spare change because I’m going to be collecting on behalf of all your future descendants and other kids who deserve to have descendants of their own.
