Matt Wichmann

Back on the bike for Perkins. Back in the fight against cancer.

Last year, with the support of incredible friends, family, colleagues and sponsors, we raised more than $18,000 for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research through the MACA Cancer 200 Ride for Research — and I took on the 272km Challenger route to earn Diamond Rider status.

This year, I'm riding again. Not because the challenge gets easier, but because cancer still affects too many families, too many friends, too many lives around us.

The ride pushes every rider physically and mentally across hundreds of kilometres. It's nothing compared to the battles faced by those living with cancer every day. That's why funding medical research matters — it creates breakthroughs, better treatments, and most importantly, hope.

In 2026, I'm going bigger: more kilometres, more fundraising, more awareness, more impact.

To everyone who supported me last year — thank you. Your generosity genuinely made a difference. And to businesses and individuals considering jumping on board this year, I'd love to have you involved as we ride to help fund life-saving cancer research right here in WA.

Let's ride for progress. Let's ride for families. Let's ride for a future without cancer. 💛

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!
