I'm Riding For

David Brown (school friend died 1972)

This was the first time I was exposed to childhood cancer. In those days illnesses were kept quiet and I did not know the extent of his leukaemia. When I was told he had died I was dumbstruck. Thankfully children and their families are far better supported today. Sadly David was the second of his family to die of a childhood cancer.

My Story

26 May 2026

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

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 700 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.
