🚴‍♂️ DOUBLE DONATION DAY IS HERE! 🚴‍♂️

Today, every single dollar donated to my Great Cycle Challenge will be doubled, up to $710,000 💛

That means your impact goes twice as far helping fund more research, more treatments, and more hope for kids fighting cancer.

I’ve spent the last few days riding from Melbourne to Sydney, pushing through every hill, every sore muscle, and every tough moment for one reason these kids deserve a chance at life.

So if you’ve been waiting for the right time to donate, today’s the day.

No amount is too small together, we can make a massive difference 🙏

Let’s make this day count 💛

🚴‍♂️ DAY 1 – HERE WE GO! 🚴‍♂️

Today’s the day I’m officially starting my ride from Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, making my way all the way to Sydney over the next 12 days! 🇦🇺

No big training plan, no fancy prep just me, my bike, and a goal to make a difference 💛

Every kilometre is for the kids fighting cancer. I’ll be sharing updates each day as I take on the 1,000+ km ride, the challenges, the towns, and the moments that keep me going.

Would love for you all to follow along and support the cause however you can donate, share, or simply cheer me on along the way 💛

COUNTDOWN

In just 3 weeks, I’ll be setting off on my biggest challenge yet — cycling from Melbourne to Sydney, a ride of more than 1,000 km.

The journey will take me around 12 days to complete, riding through tough climbs, long stretches of road, and whatever the weather throws at me. It won’t be easy, but every kilometre is for a cause that’s bigger than me, raising funds for kids’ cancer research.

Between now and the start line, I’ll be training, planning, and making sure everything is ready to go. I’ll also be sharing updates right here so you can follow the ride from preparation all the way to the finish in Sydney.

Thank you to everyone already supporting your encouragement keeps me going. Let’s make a difference together 💛
