Riding for a Cure: My Journey with Ride200 and Team MLG

Since 2017, I’ve had the privilege of participating in the Ride200, a powerful fundraising event run by the Harry Perkins Institute that supports lifesaving cancer research. What began as a personal challenge has evolved into a shared mission with my incredible team at MLG. Over the years, our team has grown steadily, united by a common goal: to help conquer cancer. For the past four years, I’ve proudly served as team captain, and it’s been inspiring to see the dedication and heart each rider brings to the cause.

This year, we’re aiming higher than ever before—with a fundraising goal of over $200,000. Every dollar raised goes directly toward groundbreaking research that brings hope to countless families. Whether you're riding, donating, or cheering us on, your support fuels the momentum behind this movement. Together, we’re not just cycling—we’re making a real impact in the fight against cancer.

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 !nding breakthroughs that will lead to improved health outcomes for those aected 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 12 October and Sunday 13 October 2024, 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.
