Health - not something to be taken lightly

Everyone has their own health challenges in different levels of intensity.

Personally as relatively severe diabetic, and someone who lives with chronic back pain, and peripheral neuropathy in my hands and legs, i certainly have days which are more difficult than others.

To think that there are people who have cancer. Who get up every day and face the biggest fight, day in day out, with treatment and all the side effects, and these are the people who complain the least. They just get on with it, and they hope to win their fight. These people, and their attitude to life are my inspiration. Many of these people are riding in this Cancer200.

I have lost over 20kg in an attempt to be healthier, and what better a cause then to raise funds for cancer, and challenge myself to the biggest ride I have ever done. I am truly honoured to be able to even attempt this.

Each person knows whether they are able to donate, or not, and if so, what they feel comfortable to give. All I ask is that you consider whether this is a cause that you wish to support, and if so, anything is graciously accepted. I will endeavour to do my best and complete the ride, in which case I would have won, and hope that the funding that we can raise can assist with the valuable research being done to help anyone facing their biggest challenge with cancer.

I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.

Cancer doesn’t just affect one person, it shakes up families, friends and communities. This year, 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!
