Support My Ride to Conquer Cancer?

Welcome to my Personal Page!

It seems just about everyone you talk to has been impacted one way or another by Cancer, whether it's personally or through someone you know.

I am lucky enough not to have had personal contact with this disease however I have family members and friends who have.

I'm taking up this challenge in the hope to contribute in some way to the efforts of researchers in finding cures and preventions, so the suffering associated with this illness can be eliminated, so that those who have it can be cured, and those as lucky as I am are never effected.

While I am riding and fundraising for everyone, I would like to dedicate my ride to a wonderful lady who is currently fighting cancer and her daughter, my lovely sister-in-law and her family, who are fighting along with her.

The Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR), is a cycling journey throughout the scenic countryside of Western Australia that I'm embarking on to fight cancer. It will be a challenge in a number of ways, but with my bike, my helmet, and your generosity, a real impact will be made!


Please contribute to this history-making event with a donation. Funds raised in The Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer will support groundbreaking, critical cancer research being undertaken at the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research, Western Australia's premier adult medical research institute, investigating the genetic and environmental causes of a range of diseases.


Thank you in advance for your help.

First training ride
I have to say I'm quite pleased with today's efforts. Up at 5am out the door at 5.30am, picked Annie up rode to Sorrento (From Landsdale), ran 40min, had breakfast and coffee, then rode home (up hill against the wind all the way) and then passed out on the bed for an hour!

My confidence increased on the way home, though I'm sure some tips from someone who's an experienced rider wouldn't go astray. I think I went through all of my 24 gears at some stage, with a change approximately every 30 seconds! The dismount from my bike could be a little more lady like and controlled and I'm hoping that will come with practice.
All in all though it was great fun and I'm looking forward to my next ride.
Thank you to everyone who's continuing to circulate my emails and links and thank you to people who are donating. Thanks to you I have managed to reach the $2,000 mark this week!
I read an interesting fact on Jerome Gallagher's blog which I hope he won't mind I share, and that's that the money you donate today goes straight to the WAIMR now and not later in the year after the ride. So potentially you could be helping save someone today.
Thanks for all your support and please keep forwarding my link around.
