I’M RIDING IN MEMORY OF My Grandfather, Colin

I’m riding in memory of my Grandad, Colin, who we lost too soon to cancer. He was my best friend. After my own bowel cancer diagnosis at 24, I was lucky to recover. I ride for him, for those fighting, lost, and those given a second chance like me.

Fuelled by Gratitude: $906 Raised and PRs Crushed on the Bike 🚴‍♀️💖

Feeling incredibly grateful tonight 💖 A HUGE Thank You to everyone who donated to my MACA 200 fundraiser today. Your generosity honestly gave me such a boost of motivation heading into tonight’s training session and I ended up smashing multiple PRs on my indoor trainer using Zwift! 🙌🚴‍♀️ I completed two separate routes; Total Distance: 27.3 km (11.1 km + 16.2km) Total Time: 1 hour 4 minutes 12 seconds (25m 4s + 39m 8s) $906 raised already toward my $5,000 goal… WOW. Back on the bike again tomorrow and feeling more motivated than ever. Thank you all so much for supporting me 🫶

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!
