My Story
Hi,
Once again this October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
My goal is to pedal 1,000 kilometres throughout the month & raise more than $2000.
This is my 4th year & so far have raised $5746 & ridden 3010km for this cause.
Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia - 3 children die of cancer every week.
To show my support, I am taking on this 30-day challenge to support cancer research and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
As usual it will be a tough month with including running a half marathon, but it's nothing compared to what these brave kids face every day.
Please make a donation through my fundraising page to support my challenge. Or if you wish you can sign up as well via my page & join my team "LET'S DO THIS".
All funds raised will support Children's Medical Research Institute in their work to develop treatments and find a cure for all childhood cancers.
Cheers

5-year-old Ivy-Jean has just 5 MONTHS left of treatment! She went into the hospital last week for a dose of IV chemotherapy.
Everything went to plan, and this little champ was feeling good…if not a little tired from the 3hr drive there and the 2hr wait. Watching the smurfs movie kept her happy though, she’s all about them at the moment.
Ivy-Jean has been fighting pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia for 2 years now, and while there have been some tough times...she’s KICKING IT’S BUTT.
Happily she only has 5 months of treatment left!
Keeping this brave little cancer fighter in mind as during these last days of the challenge. LET’S DO THIS FOR IVY-JEAN!
Remember JustCuts Modbury have provided two complimentary style haircut vouchers to be raffled off to two individuals who make a $10 or more donation. Winners will be drawn Friday 8 November 2019.

I must thank Walkerville Physio for a very generous donation and City Holden for their donation plus Just Cuts Modbury for providing two complimentary style haircut vouchers to be raffled off to two individuals who make a $10 or more donation.
Last week whilst I didn't meet any interesting characters during my rides I did however endure throughout the whole 100km 35kph+ gusty headwinds on Saturday leaving me with very unhappy legs. The tree photo doesn't really do the wind justice though. Still it's nothing compared to what these kids go through.

10 days since 2019 launch
12 Aug 2019Well it's 10 days since 2019 GCC was launched and many thanks to those who've already donated.
This year GCC have deemed me as a champion, I don't believe I am but they do and have asked me to help encourage more participants and possibly have some group rides. I have therefore set up a team called "Let's do this" and I'd live to encourage everyone who signs up to ride and raise to sign up to the team as well. It's also ok to just donate as well
Thank you for whatever way you support.
Cheers
