My Story

27 Sep 2026

I thought long and hard about participating in fundraising for the Great Cycle Challenge this year, to busy, to tired big responsibility, all the excuses to avoid the commitment, however it wouldn’t leave my mind and I couldn’t avoid it.

In the end it came back to those children suffering with cancer, their parents and carers and the big difference we make every year in October when we work together raising valuable $ to support research and care for these kids hoping for a future.

So again this year I will pump those pedals and knock on your door hoping for the same commitment and wonderful support I have received from you all over the last number of years which has seen us raise $40,000.00 for these kids.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Thanks Rod
