Cancer Hit Close to Home in 2025

Angela Stephens is a good friend of mine who is my age and was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Angela is a loving wife, mum of 3 kids and her whole world turned upside down when she received her diagnoses a few weeks ago. She is now undergoing chemotherapy treatment with the support of her family by her side and I have no doubt she has the strength to kick cancer's butt. 
I will be doing the ride in honor of Angela's fight with cancer this year and to contribute towards the amazing work done by the Harry Perkins institute to beat this disease. 

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. 

On Saturday 4 & Sunday 5 October 2025, 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!
