It's Personal - Why I am riding for Cancer Research
I’m riding because my family, like most families, has been touched by cancer. Whether the diagnosis is a
loved one, family member or it’s much, much more personal, cancer is a
terrible burden.
I carry the Braca-1 gene mutation that
increases the risk of Ovarian family for women in my family
significantly (and my risk of cancer slightly!). My sister passed away earlier this year at 47 having being diagnosed with Ovarian cancer at 37. And my mum died in her
early 50s also from Ovarian cancer. As part of my families journey I have
witnessed how treatment has improved not just in generations but also in
the 10 years since my sisters diagnosis.
In 2023, I’m taking a stand against cancer and backing the brilliant brains at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
These WA researchers are committed to finding answers faster and developing ground-breaking treatments for the hardest to treat cancers.
Because no one should have to hear those two life-altering words, “It’s cancer.”
I'd love your support. Please give generously to my donation page.
Please help me, help the Perkins.
Together, we can help make cancer history.
Please help me, help the Perkins.
