Update

Dear supporters and well-wishers,

I am writing to ask for your support.  I will be challenging myself again, for cancer research (Cancer200 Ride).  In October 2025, I will be riding over 2-day, 200+kms and with your support, I hope to raise funds for cancer research programs.  The reason I ride, is to find kinder treatments and to make cancer non-lethal!  Please donate to my fundraising page at the following link and get me on the right track and ride fit!

Everyone has been touched by cancer sometime in their lives.  Whether the diagnosis is a loved one, family member or it’s much, much more personal, cancer is a terrible burden.  The cause is close to my heart; I ride in memory of my dear sister who I lost at a young age of 48.  The Cancer200 Ride is so much more than a ride. It is about honouring those we have lost to cancer, supporting those still on their cancer journey, and celebrating those who have made it through.

Hope is a gift, and with your support, I know it’s one we can give to all – giving more time with our loved ones without disease. Many of the cancer research programs are directly funded by the Ride, and as a result, the Harry Perkins Institution has made life-changing discoveries. Thanks to the funds raised by the ride, researchers better understand how to prevent, identify, and treat this life-threatening disease. But there’s still more work to do. Despite a major improvement in survival rates for many cancers, as well as improved diagnostics and preventative measures, there are still many types of cancer for which there are no treatments. But we’re determined to change that.

I will be starting my training and fundraising in the lead up to the event October 4 and 5 (just over 4 months). I’d love your support. If you can’t join me (I’d love the company), please give generously to my donation page (directly). It will encourage me to get ride fit.

I will be uploading my training journey and actual ride on Facebook so if you are interested you can follow my journey. Together, we can do this! This is beating cancer.

Thank you for your continued commitment, support, and encouragement – it is greatly appreciated.

I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.

Cancer has taken so much from us. Whether it is a loved one, family member, friend or closer to home, cancer is relentless.

I want to put a stop to cancer by riding 200kms to raise vital funds for cancer research right here in WA.

The funds I raise will go to the brilliant minds at the Perkins who are committed to !nding breakthroughs that will lead to improved health outcomes for those aected by the hardest-to-treat diseases.

Hearing the words “it’s cancer” is heart-wrenching. But with Perkins researchers, I am determined to eliminate the fear and uncertainty that cancer brings.

On Saturday 11 October and Sunday 12 October 2025, I will pedal alongside my fellow riders who share the dream of making cancer non-lethal. Your support can turn this dream into reality.

Many riders return every year because they know that the funds we raise go back to the Perkins. It is also a worst kept secret that the Ride is the friendliest cycling charity event in Australia. Why not join me in making a difference?

Whether you join me on the Ride or contribute to my fundraising page, your generous support matters.

Together, we can conquer cancer.
