Together we can make a difference

A little over two years ago, I faced a health scare of my own. Thankfully, it was caught early, and I was lucky. Still, it means I now live with 10 years of six-monthly checkups as a reminder of how quickly life can change.

But not everyone I know has been as fortunate. Too many of my family and friends have battled cancer, and some have lost that fight.

That’s why this October, I’m taking on a huge challenge—riding 200km in the MACA Cancer 200 – Ride for Research. I’m doing this not just for myself, but for everyone who has been touched by cancer. The funds raised go directly to the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research here in WA, supporting world-class, life-saving research.

This is where you come in. With your support, we can help make breakthroughs that change lives. Every donation, big or small, takes us one step closer to a cure.

Please support me by donating.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Together, we can make a difference.

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 finding breakthroughs that will lead to improved health outcomes for those affected 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 4 October and Sunday 5 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.
