Challenge Victoria 2026

Will you support my fundraising?

In March 2026, I’ll be riding in Challenge Victoria — my fourth multi-day Smiddy event — and one that feels especially meaningful as we mark the 20th anniversary of this incredible movement.

Over the years, I’ve met some of the most inspiring, big-hearted people through Smiddy, all brought together by a shared purpose: to make a real difference in the fight against cancer.

Like many others, I’ve lost people I care about to this disease. And there are people really important to me who are still fighting. So this ride isn’t just about the kilometres, it’s about honouring them, standing with them, and doing what I can to help fund the research that gives families more time, more hope, and more memories.

That’s why I’m committed to raising funds for Mater Research — Mater’s world-class research institute that’s driving groundbreaking work into the causes, treatment, and prevention of cancer.

And this is where you come in. Every donation - big or small - helps move this vital research forward.  I'm so grateful for any support you can give!

Together, we can help change the story for more families.

Thank you for your support. ❤️
