I started supporting Great cycle challenge since 2017 because, in my view kids should not be fighting for life, rather enjoying their lives. Also, I am a passionate cyclist and a runner. Therefore, my passion and the cause aligned. This is my 3rd year riding. My 2021 ride is special to me as I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma multiform in November 2020. I was on a wheelchair when I was discharged from the hospital, January this year. I promised myself while getting treatment at hospital that I will ride Great cycle challenge this year and I will ride 1000 km. It is time to honour that promise. I am now running and training for my ride. I am still on a physio program and recovery has been positive and I am working towards the October ride. There has been support from family, friends, colleagues and community. And they have witnessed my recovery and determination so far. I am looking forward to ride in this event with much passion and I hope you will contribute to my ride.
