I’M RIDING IN MEMORY OF My Family Member, Bradley Banks
18 years since we farewelled Brad (after the cancer had found it's way to his brain) and it's still very rare for a day to go by without thinking of him . Every year the MACA Cancer 200 Ride for Research is a special time of rememberance for me.
My 7th Consecutive Year Riding… for Brad🥰🚴♀️
The MACA Ride has become a big part of my life over the past 7 years… the people I’ve met, the experiences I’ve had, the opportunities to witness the inherent “good” in people who continue to support this determined movement to “make cancer non-lethal”, have all contributed to a richness & depth that I value greatly. In this, the last few weeks in the lead-up to the big ride on 17th & 18th October, Team Cranking for Cancer are calling out for as much support as we can muster...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!
