I’M RIDING IN MEMORY OF My Mum, Pat de Gruchy, Peter Blackburn and Terry McAdam

Please help me raise funds and support my cause.

RIDING IN MEMORY OF TERRY

Yesterday the world lost another great human.
Terry had Mesothelioma.
He was only 62.
Terry has been a big part of our family’s lives from childhood and was a very special friend of my brother’s. He fought so hard to fight the disease but unfortunately it took him from us way too early. 
This year I will be dedicating my Ride to Terry along with my Mum who lost her life to cancer at the age of just 60.
We will miss him dearly. 

Reason to Ride

This year is my first year riding as a 60 year old and it brings with it a lot of mixed emotions. Appreciative that I am able to ride 200km to raise money for much needed cancer research and sad to realise just how much Mum missed out on when she passed away at 60 from cancer. 

I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.

Cancer doesn’t just affect one person, it shakes up families, friends and communities. This year, I will be taking a stand against it. 

In October 2026, I’m joining a community of passionate riders to cycle 200km to raise vital funds for cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

Every dollar pushes us closer to breakthroughs at the Perkins where brilliant researchers work tirelessly to find life-saving answers for some of the toughest cancers. But they also need our help to ensure their vital progress continues– no matter what.

 100% of the funds we raise will go back to the Perkins giving cancer researchers the support to continue their life-saving work so that our loved ones can live longer, healthier lives.

The Ride is more than just a test of endurance—it’s about unity. I'll ride alongside an incredible group of people who believe, as I do, that cancer can be conquered. Your support can turn this belief into reality.

I can’t do this alone. Will you help me to reach this goal?

Whether you join me on the Ride or support my fundraising, your generosity could be the key to saving our loved ones from this disease.

Together, we can beat cancer!
