The Cranks

  • We're 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.

    We want to put a stop to cancer by riding 200kms to raise vital funds for cancer research right here in WA.

    The funds we raise will go to the brilliant minds at the Perkins who are committed to ending 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, we are determined to eliminate the fear and uncertainty that cancer brings.

    On Saturday 11 October and Sunday 12 October 2025, we 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 us in making a difference?

    Whether you join us on the Ride or contribute to my fundraising page, your generous support matters.

    Together, we can conquer cancer.
