My Story

2 Aug 2025

Hi Friends,

This year I plan to do the “Great Cycle Challenge Australia” again in October. It is a challenge which I have done twice. The purpose of the challenge is to raise funds to pay for the research and elimination of cancer in kids- in other words -Fight Kids Cancer. The money raised goes direct to the hospital for the kids, no middle organisation is involved. I am proud to have been involved in the past and thankful because I can still do it. I have been asked by the captain of a bike team in the ACT again to be a part of the team “The Looser Cranks”. The Team captain is my son Adrian who I taught cycling. My target is to cycle 300km and to raise $500 in October – a beautiful problem if it is more.

In my opinion, this is a very commendable fundraiser and I would like you to support it.
