My Story

8 Oct 2025

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! And this year is my 5 year anniversary. yay.

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 600 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.

In Canberra for a mini break. Went around the Lake and explored Jerrabomberra wetlands. Browns snakes, lathams snipes and plenty of ducks. Topped it off by a magpie warning me off.
