I’M RIDING IN HONOUR OF My Family Member, Grandma and Gema

We all know someone who has faced cancer — whether they have fought it, are fighting it now, or have sadly passed because of it. For me, this isn’t just a ride; it’s a tribute. I’m riding this year for the people we’ve loved, the battles we’ve witnessed, and the hope that one day no family will have to endure this pain. Every kilometre is for strength, for remembrance, and for the courage of those still fighting.

A Ride for Strength, Remembrance, and Hope

This journey is bigger than me. It’s bigger than the kilometres. It’s about honouring the past, supporting the present, and fighting for a future where fewer families hear the word cancer.
 I’m proud to ride this year. I’m proud to carry these stories. And I’m proud to be part of something that brings hope to so many.

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!
