Ride to Conquer Cancer Charity Event
Now is the time to make a difference. This is something I will fight for until my last breath.
If you have been reading my posts for the last year or so you would know what I’ve been through this year. Now that I’m healthy and err.. fit again it’s my turn to give back.
In the past four years I’ve had cancer twice with seven rounds of chemotherapy and five surgeries (missed one on the ad). To read more about my story click here
A couple of weeks ago I recorded a radio ad for an upcoming Peter Mac event “Ride to Conquer Cancer’. This is a 200km bike ride around Victoria to help raise awareness and much needed funds for the research done at Peter McCallum Cancer Centre. The staff at Peter Mac has helped save my life twice in the past four years. You can listen to the radio ad here (right click, open new tab):

For me, this ride represents hope,
- A hope that everyone will come together and fight the fight.
- A hope that people will come to understand and appreciate this disease.
- A hope that as a nation, we can make a difference.
My life has totally changed in the past four years, I’d like to think for the better, which may sound weird but I know it has. I’ve met some wonderful people along my journey, made a few great friends and I love how every time I walk into Peter MacCallum I see at least a dozen people I know. Over time, it has started to feel like a second home to me.
So why am I writing this and what’s it got to do with you? Well I need your help. I have set up a team for the ‘Ride to Conquer Cancer’ charity event and would greatly appreciate any donation or contribution you could give. I want this to be a very memorable day, not just for me and my team, but for everyone who helps out in whatever capacity that might be. My hope is that this event will create a spark in our community and bring us together like never before.
We all know someone – a friend, relative or family member who has been dealt this disease. Some have won the battle, some have lost and there are plenty of people still fighting. I say enough is enough! If we can send people into space we can beat the big C!
So join with me in this epic ride to fight Cancer and make an impact like no other.
