My Story

9 Aug 2026

🚴‍♂️ 8 YEARS. ONE MISSION. RIDE FOR THE KIDS. 🎗️

This Saturday, August 1st, I’ll be getting back on my bike for my 8th year taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge, riding to raise money for children fighting cancer.

This year, my goal is $500 and 1000 kilometres.

Eight years ago, this journey began after I had my first heart attack. I was given something I’ll never take for granted — a second chance at life.

I decided I wanted to use that second chance to give something back.

That’s why, for the past eight years, I’ve been riding for kids battling cancer.

These are children who should be playing, laughing, going to school, and making memories with their families — not spending their childhood fighting cancer.

Every kilometre I ride is for them.

Every donation is a step toward giving these brave kids a better chance at the future they deserve.

🙏 If you can, please consider making a donation. Whether it’s $5, $10, $20, or whatever you can afford, every dollar matters. Your support helps children and families facing one of the toughest battles imaginable.

I’ll do the riding. You can help me make every kilometre count. ❤️

🚴‍♂️🎗️ Let’s ride for the kids. Let’s give them the second chance they deserve.
