Nearly there!

It's getting really close now, and I've not done as much training as I'd have liked to do.

I ride to remember my wife, Leigh, who passed away (I don't use the D word) in April 2019, leaving me and my 3 sons to navigate life without her.

She was an amazing, selfless, calm, and above all, happy person who's smile shined a light into dark corners.

A day doesn't go by when I don't think of her.

The pain I'll feel on the day is nothing compared to the physical pain she went through during her treatment for breast cancer.

If you're able to help, please donate, any amount counts.

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 !nding breakthroughs that will lead to improved health outcomes for those aected 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 12 October and Sunday 13 October 2024, 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.
