Ride for cancer
Riding for Hope: My MACA 200 Journey Begins
There's something incredible about what happens when people unite for a cause. This year, I’m joining the MACA 200 Cancer Ride — 200 kilometres of grit, heart, and purpose — to raise awareness and support for cancer research. It’s more than just a ride; it’s a statement of hope and a tribute to those we’ve loved, lost, and continue to fight for.
On this blog, I’ll be sharing my journey — training highs (and inevitable lows!), personal stories, the people I meet, and why this cause matters so deeply to me. Whether you’re riding too, cheering from the sidelines, or just curious, I hope you'll stick around for the ride.
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.
