My Story

29 Sep 2026

This October, I am again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!I

I will be on another Grey Nomad trip so my aim is to ride 2 Km on arrival and 2 Km before leaving each overnight stop for the 31 days of October. Hence the 60 Km goal. (Succumbed to a “Dickie Knee” so need to reduce no. of Kms to 60).

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. As a child I lost a friend in the scout troop to cancer

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.

If this cause appeals to you, please support my challenge by making a tax deductible donation, at any time of the year, through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Resurrect that bike and join the cause? Join the Tol Tol Turtles Team and encourage sponsors?

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support.
