I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.

This ride is deeply personal. My sister-in-law, Kathy Bunce, founded Fiti50 and inspired so many people—many of them non-riders—to step outside their comfort zones and commit to something bigger than themselves. Tragically, Kathy passed away before she could ride for the team, but her spirit, strength, and belief in this cause continues to drive me  and many others forward every single day.

Cancer doesn’t just affect one person. It shakes families, friends, and entire communities. I’ve seen that impact firsthand, and that’s why I’m taking a stand.

In October 2026, I’ll be joining a community of passionate riders to cycle 200km, raising vital funds for cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

Every dollar donated pushes us closer to breakthroughs at the Perkins, where brilliant researchers work tirelessly to find life-saving answers for some of the toughest cancers. Their work is critical—but it relies on support from people like us to ensure progress continues, no matter what.

100% of the funds raised go directly to the Perkins, giving researchers the resources they need to continue their life-saving work, so our loved ones can live longer, healthier lives.

This Ride is more than a test of endurance—it’s about unity, hope, and belief. I’ll be riding alongside an incredible group of people who share one common goal: a future where cancer no longer takes the people we love.

I can’t do this alone.

Will you help me reach this goal?

Whether you choose to ride with me or support my fundraising, your generosity could make a real difference—and could be the key to saving lives.

Together, we can beat cancer.
