Pedaling for a Purpose: Riding to Support Cancer Research

There’s something truly powerful about combining passion with purpose. For me, that’s what riding a bike in support of cancer research is all about. It’s more than just miles covered on the road — it’s about making every push of the pedal count toward a future free from cancer.

Every year, millions of people around the world face the harsh reality of a cancer diagnosis. While science has come a long way, there’s still so much work to be done — and that’s where we come in. By participating in cycling events and fundraising rides, we have the chance to contribute directly to vital research that saves lives.

Whether you're riding a few miles or taking on a multi-day challenge, each ride brings us closer to breakthroughs in treatment, early detection, and hopefully, a cure. It’s also a powerful way to honor loved ones who’ve battled cancer, celebrate survivors, and support those still fighting.

I’m riding not just for myself, but for all the families touched by cancer. If you'd like to join me, support the cause, or donate, every bit makes a difference. Let’s ride together — for hope, for progress, and for a cure.

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 11 October and Sunday 12 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.
