I’M RIDING IN HONOUR OF My Family Member, Sylvia Heaysman
To help find a cure for cancer
I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.
I lost my dear sister to Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer earlier this year. In August 2025 she went to the Doctor for a routine checkup, no prior symptoms other than what she thought was a bout of indigestion. As soon as the Doctor saw her he said "you look very yellow [jaundice], lets organise some blood tests for you". To keep the story short, she was told of the pancreatic cancer and that she was terminal, she underwent 9 months of intensive treatment of all sorts but unfortunately succumbed to the "silent killer" on 8 May aged 64.
So you see, cancer doesn’t just affect one person, it shakes up families, friends and communities. This year for the 14th year in a row, 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! And we can do it in memory of Sylvia....
