Why Ride?
Fifteen years ago, I lost my younger brother to brain cancer. In that moment, we felt powerless.
This year, I’ll be riding alongside more than 1,500 others in support of the incredible work being done at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. Their scientists are making real progress—turning donations into discoveries that help people live longer, healthier lives.
With your generosity, my effort, and their expertise, we can make a difference.
Will you help?
Feeling good
Training at least five days a week. Tuesday rest day for Rotary Club meeting. After my daytime work at the keyboard it feels good to get the heart rate going with a run, a ride or a weight session for an hour and a bit more.Team Rotary Riders
Have you lost friends or family to cancer?
Team Rotary Riders is once again gearing up to raise funds for the Harry Perkins Cancer Research Institute. In 2024, combined teams successfully raised an impressive $10.3 million!
In 2025, the Booragoon Rotary Club will continue to coordinate Team Rotary Riders, both in preparation and during the 200 km ride. We invite you to share this message with your friends, encouraging them to join the ride or make a financial contribution.
Booragoon Club has generously donated $1,500. Contributions from individuals and clubs are greatly appreciated.
The big ride is in October 2025. I will be riding again, for the third time, proving that age is no barrier to making a difference. It’s a ride, not a race.
