My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This year will be my sixth year participating and raising funds.
Ironically my first-year riding in 2021, I signed up for this challenge and then about 6 weeks prior to the start, I myself was unexpectedly diagnosed with lymphoma. It was incredibly difficult to finish this as I was being treated, but I carried on thinking of how strong I needed to be and how much stronger the kids are that this ride represents. I will always ride as this means so much more to me now.
Cancer is a very ugly disease for anyone, but truly heartbreaking when thinking that it happens to innocent children who do not deserve this. I know now firsthand how difficult this really is.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives to support lifesaving treatments and cures through Children's Cancer Research Fund.
Thank you.

Update
10 Sep 2026Thank you everyone that has donated, encouraged, and supported me for this meaningful cause! This has been a huge success and there’s still time. I clearly have lots of miles & ground to cover and will suffer through going as hard as possible with a large smile knowing how much everyone that helped here this year and in the past has pushed me to do my very best for these kids. I am beyond grateful for all the continued support year after year and how this has grown organically. It is great meeting new folks that genuinely care about this just as much as me. I appreciate you all and thank you so very much!!!💚🎗️
