I'm Riding For

Bernie D & Olivia B

Olivia is the brave and courageous daughter of my friend, Jana. Olivia battled Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4 and is cancer FREE!!! Bernie was my younger brother who fought a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer and was taken from us in December 2022 way too young.

My Story

15 May 2023

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Because right now, cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia – over 700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year and sadly, 3 die every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

And so I am riding and raising funds to support the Children's Medical Research Institute to continue their work into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support my challenge by making a donation through my fundraising page to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Together, we can save little lives.

Thanks for your support.
