Here I go again, year 9!!!

Sticking to my pledge to Riding every year until I physically couldn't ride. After my first year, I thought to myself " I have done it once I can do it again and it will be easier now that I know what it is like and they say the unknown is always hard". Well how wrong was I.... Each year I seem to do less training but still manage to complete the distance. What I find harder each year is the emotional side in the lead up to the ride, the start line, hearing all the stories along the way. It also means another year gone by without loved ones who lost the battle and more loved ones who are now fighting the battle of the hideous disease. 

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.
