I'm Riding For
Emily, Rebecca, Hassan, Jens, my aunt, uncles & both grandmothers
I’m dedicating my rides to everyone battling cancer and to those we’ve lost. You are always in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I ride for you!
My Story
Did you know that more children in Australia die from cancer than any other disease?
Every year, over 700 children are diagnosed, and every week, three young lives are lost. It's heartbreaking.
This is why I've been taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge every year since 2013. Every child deserves the chance to grow up, follow their dreams, and simply enjoy being a kid.
The Children's Medical Research Institute is doing incredible work, but they can't do it without our help. Every donation helps fund life saving research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.
If you're able to support my 14th annual ride, I would be so incredibly grateful! Together, we really can help save little lives.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
31 Aug 2026For the 14th consecutive year, I am putting my feet to the pedals for the Great Cycle Challenge. Over the last 14 years, I have ridden through the heat, the wind, and the tired legs because my challenges are nothing compared to what these brave kids go through every single day.
Cancer is still the leading cause of death by disease for children, and that is completely unacceptable: Kids should be playing on playgrounds, not fighting for their lives in hospital beds.
Thank you for backing me for 14 incredible years, and thank you for supporting these amazing children!

4 August is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day
31 Jul 2026Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, happy and full of hope. That's one of the reasons why I've been riding in the Great Cycle Challenge every year since 2013.
As we mark Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day on next Tuesday, 4 August, I'm reminded that every child matters and deserves the opportunity to dream, to learn, to play, and to grow up surrounded by love and community. Childhood cancer doesn't discriminate, and no family should have to hear the words, "Your child has cancer."
If you are able to support my charity rides, I would be deeply grateful. Together, we can help fund life saving research and give more children the chance to simply be kids.
