Its getting close as the training increases

With the ride less than 7 weeks away the nerves start to kick in and the training increases. As you wake up early on these cold winter mornings to head on out for another training ride in the wet and windy conditions there are times you ask yourself "do I need to do this? Is it worth it? Then the next of thoughts and images go through your mind, thoughts of who you're doing this for! Images and memories of the stories from the yellow flag riders and suddenly you have already ridden 10km and are in the swing of things. I really look forward to this event every year, it is a fantastic and worthy cause, the weekend although tough is fulfilling and fun and I encourage everyone to get involved anyway they can, whether it's by participating, volunteering or donating please get involved. 

I’m on a mission to defeat cancer and i need your help

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 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.
