My Story

10 Jun 2026

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 2026

    Here 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.
