My Story

28 Sep 2025

This October, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet – riding my bike from Melbourne to Sydney, covering over 1,000 km in just 12 days, to raise funds for kids’ cancer research.

Why?

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia. Over 600 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 3 die every week. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

That’s why I’m riding and fundraising to support the Children’s Medical Research Institute, to help give kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks so much for your support 💛
