I’m riding for Linda and to give hope by paying it forward

I'm sure 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. 

Having lost my first wife Carol to breast cancer in 2011, my wife Linda & I were rocked in 2020 when she was diagnosed with HER-2 positive breast cancer. Linda completed 15 months of surgery and intensive treatment, much of which was made possible by years of painstaking research by dedicated professionals, just like the brilliant brains at WA’s very own Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. The WA researchers at the Perkins are committed to finding answers faster and developing ground-breaking treatments for the hardest to treat cancers. We are so grateful that Linda is now cancer-free and now is our time to give hope to other people and future generations.

In 2026 I will be cycling 200km from Perth to Mandurah and return for the 5th time in the MACA Cancer 200: Ride for the Perkins, to raise vital funds for cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. 100% of the funds we raise will go back to the Perkins, giving cancer researchers the support to achieve what they want to achieve - to make cancer a non-lethal illness.

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 do this!
