Ash Whittam

I’M RIDING IN MEMORY OF My Family Member, Naomi

Please help me raise funds and support my cause.

I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.

Is a group of friends on a mission to raise awareness and funds for cancer research 


Team Hippo rides in memory of Naomi Whittam-Murphy and rides for all those affected by Cancer.


Our Story 


In 2025 our team captain lost his sister to Stage 4 Bowel cancer. To make a difference and so his sister’s name would not be forgotten he road his bike 9000km with 100,000m of elevation from the top of Alaska to Mexican border in just over 2 months via the Tour divide race route solo and unsupported raising awareness and funds for the Perkins.


Our team raised over $18,000 last year with the goal of recruiting more friends this year and to raise a whole lot more money for such a good cause.


Our team values are to be loving and caring and support all people as we strive to make a difference.


So support us today as we ride for a cure and ride for hope.


Much Love


Team Hippo
