WOOHOO WE DID IT!!

I set out to the make Honour Role this year, well actually my wife signed me up for the honour roll! 😊

It seemed like such a daunting task.

Then my darling wife suggested we have a cocktail event complete with auctions and raffles, a cocktail bar, beer, wine, food entertainment from Chris Murphy, it just got bigger and bigger😥

If it wasn't for the wonderful encouragement and support, we received from my fellow Orthosistas teammates, it wouldn't have been the great success that it was. So, a huge thank you to them!

A special thankyou to my beautiful wife Sarah-Jayne, without her energy and extraordinary organizational skills none of this would've been possible.

Lastly, a special thank you to our beautiful angel Jacob, he drives us to continue to be the best people we can be.

'' If you can choose to be anything in this world, be kind"

A mantra he lived by, and one we strive to continue
in his memory 🌺❤️

FOREVER YOUNG, FOREVER LOVED...💕

Countdown to the BIG EVENT!!

1 WEEK TO GO FOR OUR COCKTAIL PARTY FUNDRAISNG EVENT.
LOTS OF SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS AND TEAMMATES...GO ORTHOSISTAS❤️❤️

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.
