My Story

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.

Renier

    As we draw closer to our goal, it was my honour to do the last few kilometres with the Steenkamp’s who recently lost Melandré to this dreadful disease. This gave us all an opportunity to have some fun with him in mind. I hope the money raised will be well spent to find a cure and kick cancers butt!
