Nanna on a mission ... to tackle cancer

Cancer doesn’t just affect one person, it shakes up families, friends and communities. I've been shaken; I've been stirred; and THIS year, I will be doing something MORE about it! 

In October 2026 I will be riding 200km in one BIG weekend in the MACA200 Ride against Cancer. I’m joining a community of over 1500 riders CYCLING THEIR BUTTS OFF 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!!

My team is "Bent Not Broken" .. as I'll be riding my 'bent (recumbent) trike. It's a fast bike, but these 71yo legs are slow so, it will take a  LOOOONG time each day on the MACA Weekend. But the battle for our cancer survivors is long and hard too - it's the least I can do.

Come join me!!
