Support My Ride to Conquer Cancer

Along with my team-mates The Artisans and thousands of others, I'll be embarking on a 200km ride this October to raise funds for research to conquer cancer.

Having battled cancer myself last year and now continuing the battle this year, this is a cause close to my heart.  I want to do something about this disease and I need your help!  My commitment to raise at least the minimum $2500 will significantly help cancer research, and all the training needed for this ride will, I hope, get me back to full pre-treatment strength.

Please contribute to this history-making event with a donation.  My employer, Ajilon, have kick-started the fundraising with a generous amount and are promoting it through their Community Program to help get the word out.

Cancer is a serious problem but now it's your turn to be part of the solution!   Remember that by making a donation you're making a commitment to eradicate cancer - something that touches almost everyone at some point through family and close friends if not directly.

Funds raised in The Ride to Conquer Cancer will support groundbreaking, critical cancer research being undertaken at the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR), Western Australia's premier adult medical research institute, investigating the genetic and environmental causes of a range of diseases.  See "Where Your Dollars Go".

Thank you in advance for your help, and please stay up to date with my fundraising and training progress here on this page's Web Log (below), at My Fundraising Blog and on Strava.  Please follow or subscribe!

Health update - more challenges coming up
Here's a quick update on what's been happening the last couple of months. Rehab on my broken collar bone has its ups and downs but overall is going pretty well. I wish I could report the same on the cancer front - it looks like I've got a bit more work to do before I have it beat.
A couple of months ago a blood test result showed tiny signs of cancer recurrence, and now another blood test result has confirmed it. So I'll be starting radiation therapy in a couple of weeks, and that will go for about 7 weeks. See http://goo.gl/t7it9 for more info.
Meanwhile as for the 200km Ride in October, I'll just have to stay as fit as I can through the treatment (fatigue is a common side-effect though) and ramp the training up for the last few weeks before the ride.
So the ride's still on, and your donations are needed! Don't forget it's a new financial year so you should have a renewed charity budget. Here's a good place to use it, with 100% of your donation paid immediately to the W.A. Institute of Medical Research. Please help. :)
