Hairless Heroes
In order to help raise money for the MACA Cancer 200 Ride for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, I, and my dear friend Xander Camille, are going to be shaving our heads completely bald on the last day of school (for year 12s) and donating our luscious locks to cancer patients to be made into wigs.I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.
Cancer has taken so much from us. Whether it is a loved one, family member, friend or closer to home, cancer is relentless.
I want to put a stop to cancer by riding 200kms to raise vital funds for cancer research right here in WA.
The funds I raise will go to the brilliant minds at the Perkins who are committed to finding breakthroughs that will lead to improved health outcomes for those affected by the hardest-to-treat diseases.
Hearing the words “it’s cancer” is heart-wrenching. But with Perkins researchers, I am determined to eliminate the fear and uncertainty that cancer brings.
On Saturday 11 October and Sunday 12 October 2025, I will pedal alongside my fellow riders who share the dream of making cancer non-lethal. Your support can turn this dream into reality.
Many riders return every year because they know that the funds we raise go back to the Perkins. It is also a worst kept secret that the Ride is the friendliest cycling charity event in Australia. Why not join me in making a difference?
Whether you join me on the Ride or contribute to my fundraising page, your generous support matters.
Together, we can conquer cancer.
