Nerves
So with the nerves kicking in I'm concentrating on both riding consistently and adding reformer pilates for strength and stretching. Bring it on!!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.
