I'm riding to help kids with cancer

YEAR 3!
I am taking part in the Townsville to Cairns Bike Ride to raise funds for Children's Cancer Institute.

Every week in Australia, 20 children are diagnosed with cancer and sadly, three young lives will be lost to the disease. Children's Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute wholly dedicated to childhood cancer.
Together, we can help more children with cancer not only survive but go on to live long and healthy lives.

Please DONATE NOW and support my 3-day ride to change the lives of children with cancer.

Help me hit $5k

Thursday 16th Jul

With less than one week to go until I ride 374 km over 3 days for the Children’s Cancer Institute, I’m feeling a mix of excitement, nerves, and gratitude.

I honestly can’t believe the support I’ve received so far. Every donation, every message of encouragement, every share, and every person cheering me on has meant more than you know. It’s made the early mornings, long training rides, sore legs, and tired days completely worth it.

I’m so close to reaching my fundraising goal of $5,000, and I’d love to crack it before I roll out next week.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is the perfect time. Whether it’s $5, $20, or whatever you can spare, every dollar goes directly towards life-saving research to help children and families impacted by cancer.

If you’re not able to donate, sharing my fundraiser with your friends and family would mean just as much.

Thank you for believing in this cause and for backing me every step (and pedal stroke!) of the way. Here’s to one final week of training—and hopefully smashing that $5,000 goal together! 🚴💛
