Shaving my head

I have let the world know that my very thick and full head of hair will be shaved off completely when I reach$4000 in donations.  I have peaked over $2200 today, and there is plenty of time to reach that goal.  So I am preparing some nice hats, and bandannas in the full expectation that my head will be a shiny dome towards the back end of this year.  
Why, you may ask am I doing this?  I do this because I care about doing what I can to help those who have no choice.  Having had a family touched by disease and loss, I am in the fortunate position to help with what I can, so I will!
Keep those donations coming in, so you can see my lumpy shiny head in its full glory!

I’m riding to beat cancer

There isn’t a single person I know that hasn’t been touched by cancer. Whether it’s through a loved one, friend, family member or it’s much more personal, cancer is a terrible burden.

In 2024, I’m taking a stand against cancer and backing the brilliant brains at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

These WA researchers are committed to finding answers faster and developing ground-breaking treatments for the hardest to treat cancers.

Because no one should have to hear those two life-altering words, “It’s cancer.”

I’m training, fundraising and riding 200km to support WA cancer research. But I’m not doing it alone, there’s a growing group of riders who return year after year to this ride. They do so not only because it’s lifechanging but because the event feels like a big reunion - where all the guests are the family you love!

I’d be so grateful for your support.

If you can’t join me (I’d love the company), please give generously to my fundraising page.

Together, we can help make cancer history.
