I ride in memory of my mum!

I’m on a mission defeat cancer and support cancer research in honour of our beautiful mum.

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 honour of our beautiful mum who sadly lost the fight way too young, I have made it my mission to get involved in cancer research and support others affected as much as possible.

Mum was a very positive and active person who loved to be outdoors and see the world. Even throughout all her years of Cancer treatment, she went above and beyond to keep up her active lifestyle. She loved her walks with our dog and would never turn a bike ride down. She continued her Yoga and Pilates classes and attended the gym when the sickness allowed her to. We sometimes had to remind her to slow down, but nothing could ever stop her.
She never wanted to be treated as being sick, she wanted to continue to live a normal life - and so she did. She continued to work from home, assisted with queries whilst receiving Chemo treatment and continued her weekly English classes. She was unstoppable and admired by so many of us!

The strength mum has shown throughout her sickness is my inspiration to keep following what she had started. Throughout her sickness, she took part in many trials and was willing to assist with further research. For her funeral she specifically declined flowers and instead requested a small donation from friends and family to support the local hospice. Let’s keep up what mum has started and put the biggest smile on her face!

On Saturday 4 & Sunday 5 October 2025, 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.

This is where you come in as I can’t do this alone. Please join me to make a difference and help us giving some hope to all people, families and friends affected by cancer.

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.

Every dollar counts!
