Join my journey.
Cancer doesn’t just affect one person; it shakes families, friends, and entire communities.
In October 2026, I will join a community of passionate riders to cycle 200 km to raise vital funds for cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
Why I am Riding
We have all been impacted by this disease. I watched my father battle cancer until there was nothing left of him, and just last year, I lost a dear high school friend. Most recently, in January of this year, our friend’s 31-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer—a heartbreaking reminder of how indiscriminate and relentless this disease can be.  I also ride for the incredibly brave individuals who have endured the gruelling path of treatment and for those who continue to fight that battle every single day.
I consider myself incredibly lucky to be blessed with an amazing family and supportive friends. While I am out on my road bike daily, a 200 km journey is still an enormous stretch for me. However, this physical challenge pales in comparison to the hurdles faced by those living with cancer and their families.
How You Can Help
I have always believed that donating one’s time is the best way to give back. I will do whatever I need to complete the 200 km ride, but I cannot reach my fundraising goal alone. This has to be a team effort.
I understand that we all have our own ways of supporting the causes we care about. If you are able, I ask that you please support my ride. Your generosity is a key piece of the puzzle in saving our loved ones from this disease.
Together, we can beat cancer.
Thank you for your support.
