The reason that I ride

I wanted to make this post to say thank you to everyone who has supported me to raise funds and participate in the Cancer200 over the last ten years, it truly means everything.

I also want to share why this event is so important to me. Cancer has significantly impacted my family. It has taken my step-sister, my uncle, my grandfather, and my grandmother. 

I'm not a doctor or a medical researcher. The Cancer200 event is a way for me to try and make a difference by funding experts in the field of cancer treatment research. A small way to contribute to the next breakthrough or even a cure, preventing more families from losing their loved ones to this insidious disease.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, lent me a swag or bicycle, rode with me, towed me to the last kilometre, met me at the finish line, or simply wished me luck on this journey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

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!
