My Story

27 Sep 2026

Back in 2014 I found I'd bladder cancer while pedaling (slowly) up Monte Zoncolan, pictured above. Still on my bike today thankfully and considering the plight of youngsters, who unfortunately wake up to life blighted by awful cancers.

I'm seeking to cycle 1005ks again in October 2026 and if you'd like to support me, together we can contribute to helping these poor afflicted young people.

Julie, Greg, Rachel, Maddie, Monica and their Cycle Challenge colleagues, are honest and hard working, in my experience over the last 11 years.

The money donated ends up in the right place transparently and is tax deductible. Thereby a win win win situation.

If anything unexpected precludes me from accomplishing my goal this October I shall endeavour to complete as soon as possible into November. Your sponsorship contributes to my functionality and well being also. Again thanks on behalf of the wee bairns.
