Those who know me know I have long been involved in cycling events with a focus on fundraising for a cause such as Multiple Sclerosis and the Smith Family.
Having family members who are cancer survivors, friends who are undergoing treatment and lost friends to cancer adds purpose and passion to my participation in this event, the Westpac Tour de Cure.
I'm riding 437km over 3 days from Mudgee to Sydney to raise vital funds for groundbreaking cancer projects, bringing us closer to a future where cancer is no longer life-threatening. Since Tour de Cure started in 2007 these initiatives have led to 156 major cancer research breakthroughs, enhancing the understanding of cancer, discovering new treatments, and improving diagnosis rates.

Tour de Cure raises vital funds to support the researchers, surgeons and clinicians who dedicate their lives to finding a cure for cancer.
Tour de Cure was founded in 2007 with the aim of improving Australians health outcomes and to raise $2 million. Since then, together with the Tour de Cure community and partners, we have dreamt up many more ambitious goals.
Tour de Cure has raised over $118 million, funded more than 1000 cancer research, support and prevention projects, and published 150 cancer breakthroughs.
We won’t stop until there’s a cure!
