I'm Riding For
Everyone, young or old, cancer needs to be stopped!
To all the young & old who have or are suffering from cancer, this is for you. Hope is all I can provide however I do it willingly.
My Story
Hi,
Once again this October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 11th time!
My goal is to pedal 1103 kilometres throughout October & to raise more than $4411 to bring my total to $36,000 during my 11 years.
Over past 10 years I have raised $31,589 & ridden 14,652km for this cause.
Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia - over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year & over 3 die each week.
To show my support, I am taking on this 30-day challenge to support cancer research & give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
As usual it will be a tough month as it also includes running a 10km race at McLaren Vale on the 18th, as well as the weekly 5km parkrun, however that's nothing compared to what these brave kids face every day.
Please make a donation through my fundraising page to support my challenge.
All funds raised will support Children's Medical Research Institute in their work to develop treatments & finding a cure for ALL childhood cancers & even adult ones.
Cheers
Peter S

The impact of your gift
12 Jun 2026Here are just some of the many ways your support helps fight childhood cancer:
$50 can help our scientists develop better cancer treatments with fewer side effects.
$58 can buy special materials needed for extracting cancer DNA to help us find out what turns an innocent cell into a killer.
$86 can purchase a “big data” scan that allows us to see more than 7,000 proteins in a cancer cell and improve cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
$95 can buy 1 mg of an experimental telomerase inhibitor to test – one that might lead to a better cancer treatment.
$138 can help us scan thousands of cancer proteins and add to our database, which aims to transform how doctors diagnose and treat cancer.
$880 helps us operate specialised microscopes that allow scientists to see the processes occurring inside living cells that turn them cancerous.
$1500 can fund pre-clinical tests of a new drug that could treat cancer, epilepsy, or other conditions.
