I’m riding to beat cancer
Unfortunately, there is very few among us who don’t have a cancer story,
In years gone by the knowledge of cancer was low.
In the early 80’s our mum saw here GP about a skin irritation on her neck, initially it was “brushed off” as some sort of scar tissue.
After a year and the irritation still being present mum visited a different doctor who then referred her to a specialist. This was the first time she had been diagnosed with Cancer.
Thanks to ongoing research facilities like the Perkin mum lived until 2018. Over this nearly 40-year period fighting with Cancer she bravely underwent many procedures.
Our Dad was always by her side but unfortunately in 2012 he was diagnosed with a tumour in his pleural cavity, worst still because of the location and size it was deemed too late to operate and remove it.
Less than a year latter our mentor, leader and hero was gone.
In 2024, side by side with friends and family 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’m training, fundraising and riding 200km to support WA cancer research. But I’m not doing it alone, there’s a growing group of riders who return year after year to this ride. They do so not only because it’s lifechanging but because the event feels like a big reunion - where all the guests are the family you love!
I’d be so grateful for your support.
If you can’t join me (I’d love the company), please give generously to my fundraising page.
Together, we can help make cancer history.
