My Reason

I get asked a lot why and how I find the energy and effort to do the fundraising and ride year after year. For me this is always one of the easiest questions to answer. I ride in memory of Tahu and for his wife Jo and sons Knox and Manaaki and I fundraise because I believe in the Perkins. It really is as simple as that.

It takes less than 30 seconds at the event, be it the opening ceremony, Saturday night celebrations or even just talking to a rider and I guarantee you'll feel it to. I ride so other families like Tahu's don't have to go through what they did because at the end of the day no children aged 3 and 8 should have to go through the pain of attending the funeral of their dad.

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.
