🚴‍♂️ From World Championship to Fundraising for Smiddy

At 71 years old, I know just how fortunate I am. Last year, after months of hard training, I had the incredible honor of winning the World Masters Road Cycling Championship for my age group. It was a peak moment for me—but it also came with a quiet reflection. Some of my friends never made it to this age because of cancer.

Winning a title was a dream, but this year, I’m putting that training toward a purpose that hits much closer to home.

I’m taking on a massive 635km, 7,677m climbing in 5-day cycle from Auckland to Rotorua to raise vital funds for Smiling for Smiddy and cancer research. My goal is simple: to help fund the scientists working tireless every day to create better treatments, giving cancer patients and their families the hope of a longer, healthier life together.

Crossing a finish line feels great, but helping find a cure feels vital.

If you’re able to support my ride with a donation—big or small—it would mean the world to me and make every kilometer count.

Together, let's turn pedal power into a cure. ❤️🚴‍♂️
