Up to October 30, I’ve ridden 1,256 kms to end childhood cancer. It’s been tough, but it’s worth every aching muscle to help these kids.

Because right now, cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Australia - 3 children die every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Please sponsor me now on the final day of my challenge and support my efforts to save little lives.

To make a donation, visit my page

Your donation will support Children's Medical Research Institute here in Australia to develop treatments and find cures for childhood cancers. I like to think that research into children's cancer has huge potential to understand cancer's causes - they have faced less poisons and less stresses than us older folk. Maybe the researcher can isolate the factors better.

Thank you so much for those of you who have already donated

The profile of donations this year has been very different to last year. Of the 26 donations, 14 have come from friends, only 5 from former colleagues, 3 from family and one from a former client - 2 anonymous are most likely colleagues too. In previous years, these emails have been the biggest driver of donations. Of the 26 donations, 10 came from email and 10 from social media with 5 from face to face contact by me or my wife.

Now is the time to step up to change the data - donate now

Thanks for your attention
