My Story

2 May 2026

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.

Thank You

1 Oct 2026

All, thank you again for another successful season for raising awareness and funds to support children’s cancer research! It was a milestone year fundraising our highest year in dollars as well as crossing the $10,000 legacy mark. I’m so proud of our accomplishments together and it isn’t possible without support and repeat support from great friends and family. I greatly appreciate everyone who supported and help spread the word of what we’re doing. I hope we can grow this even further next year as our brave children need all of our efforts to make a difference for them and their families.

Thank you everyone so much with all my heart 💚 💛 🎗️
