Why I'm Riding

This year I'm taking part in the MACA Cancer 200 Ride for Research to help raise funds for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and support the fight against cancer.

Like many people, I've seen the impact cancer can have on those around us. My father and godmother have both faced cancer, and while they were fortunate to recover well, it reinforced the importance of continued research and better treatment options.

This is my first year participating in the ride and I'm looking forward to being part of an event that brings people together for such an important cause. Alongside the MACA Cancer 200, I'm also supporting other charitable events this year, including the Mater Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer and the Corporate Rugby Tens for Youngcare.

My goal is simple: raise as much as possible to support cancer research and contribute to outcomes that can make a real difference for individuals and families affected by cancer.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. Every donation, no matter the size, helps fund important research and is genuinely appreciated.

See you on the ride!

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!
