Riding for a Cause Close to My Heart – 10 Years Strong
This year marks my 10th ride supporting cancer research at the Perkins Institute.
It’s extra special as I’ll be riding alongside my son Chris, a 2nd-year WesTrac apprentice, continuing the Letizia legacy—fixing CAT tractors and now, riding for a cure. 🚴♂️💖
Cancer has taken so much from us. Whether it is a loved one, family member, friend or closer to home, cancer is relentless.
Just a few weeks ago, I lost a dear friend who had supported my ride every year with incredible generosity. This ride is for him - and for everyone still fighting.
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 5th October and Sunday 6th 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.
Whether you join me on the Ride or contribute to my fundraising page, your generous support matters.
Together, we can conquer cancer.
