Why Smiling for Smiddy

Smiling for Smiddy is more than just a charity; it's a community of passionate individuals committed to making a positive impact. Named in memory of Adam Smiddy, a young cyclist who tragically lost his battle with melanoma, the organization aims to prevent others from experiencing the same pain. By raising funds for cancer research and support programs, Smiling for Smiddy supports vital initiatives that improve treatments, save lives, and offer solace to those affected by this devastating disease.

How Your Donation Makes an Impact: Your contribution to my Smiling for Smiddy fundraiser goes directly toward funding groundbreaking cancer research and providing support services to patients and their families. With your help, we can make strides in developing new treatments, improving early detection methods, and enhancing the quality of life for those facing a cancer diagnosis. Every dollar you donate has the power to change lives, offering hope and creating a brighter future.

Noosa 2023 Goals

I am back to take on Noosa Triathlon 2023!

I've committed to being part of Team Smiddy at the 2023 Noosa Triathlon.

That means in November, I'll be taking on an Olympic distance triathlon. That's a 1500m swim, 40km ride and 10km run! Yes, I'll be pushing my body to the limit.

Why am I taking on this challenge?

Partially because I am a true sucker for punishment, but mostly because I'm committed to helping Mater and other organisations on the long, hard road to fight cancer. 

As part of my challenge I'm aiming to raise funds towards ground-breaking research at Mater into the causes, prevention and treatment of various types of cancer.

And this is where I need your help - will you support my fundraising by making a donation today?
