9 years, 200km, one cause I care about

Cancer doesn't just affect one person — it impacts entire families, friends and communities. This year, I'm continuing to take a stand against it.

On 17–18 October, I'll take on my 9th Cancer200 Ride, joining a fantastic community to raise vital funds for cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

Nine years in, the reason hasn't changed — every dollar raised helps the brilliant researchers at the Perkins keep working towards breakthroughs for some of the toughest cancers, with 100% of what we raise going straight back to them.

The Ride has always been about more than the kilometres. It's the community of riders, donors and researchers who all believe cancer can be beaten, and I'm grateful to keep being part of it.

If you're in a position to, please feel free to donate — no pressure at all, whatever you can give is genuinely appreciated. And if not, a share or just following along as I take on another 200km means just as much.

Thank you, as always, for being part of this journey with me.
