I'm Riding For
Heather Kuipers, Gina Rowlands
Both of my Grandmothers passed away due to cancer, so I'm riding to help find a cure so no-one else has to go through this, but even more so, to help all the young kids that need our help.
My Story
5 Oct 2019
This October, I am taking part in my 6th Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Because 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, 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 little lives.
Thanks for your support.

Light you Bike - Support the Fight
12 Oct 2019WOW.
What an amazing night of riding with lots of other GCC riders, fellow cyclists from Darwin CC, friends & others who just came to support the kids.
67 riders over the night, the most of which lit up their bike, joined in the slow races, watched the Go-Kart demonstration & even the longest wheelie competition.
I only rode until 11:30pm however still managed to ride 53km for the night with my fellow rider Sam keeping me going.
Thanks to Dad & Mum, all the sponsors & everyone who joined in for helping make this event so much fun.
