My Story

4 Oct 2026

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

I plan to ride 700kms and hope to raise 1500 dollars, as part of this ride I plan to ride 500kms around the Yorke peninsula over 6-7 days solo and unsupported.

Because cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia. Right now, 90 children are diagnosed every month, 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.
