I’M RIDING IN CELEBRATION OF My Family Member, Matilda Bunnett

My cousin "Matilda Peggy Bunnett" was born September 2021 with a rare tumour called "Kaposiform Haemangioendothelioma" and also a syndrome called "Kasabach-Merrit Phenomenon" Matilda had her first surgery in November 2022 to try and remove some of the tumour that is wrapped around her organ’s. Surgery went as well as it could and removing as much as they could. So this is why I will be riding again this year and hopefully many more to help raise funds for the dreaded C word.

I’m on a mission to defeat cancer.

Cancer doesn’t just affect one person, it shakes up families, friends and communities. This year, I will be taking a stand against it. 

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

Every dollar pushes us closer to breakthroughs at the Perkins where brilliant researchers work tirelessly to find life-saving answers for some of the toughest cancers. But they also need our help to ensure their vital progress continues– no matter what.

 100% of the funds we raise will go back to the Perkins giving cancer researchers the support to continue their life-saving work so that our loved ones can live longer, healthier lives.

The Ride is more than just a test of endurance—it’s about unity. I'll ride alongside an incredible group of people who believe, as I do, that cancer can be conquered. Your support can turn this belief into reality.

I can’t do this alone. Will you help me to reach this goal?

Whether you join me on the Ride or support my fundraising, your generosity could be the key to saving our loved ones from this disease.

Together, we can beat cancer!
