Personal message

Please support me as I ride to raise awareness for our little heroes fighting childhood cancer.

The course is clear and the vision is set I am doing the 94.7 for paediatric cancer awareness.

Thank you so much for clicking on the link and getting this far... your sponsorship will make a difference in the life of a child with cancer.

My inspiration is Jed and I will be riding to honor this brave young man who fought brain cancer with such determination and bravery. Sadly, Jed passed away 11 July 2011.

Thank you for making a donation to Rainbows and Smiles – the heart and soul of paediatric cancer awareness that really makes a difference.

This epic cycle race promises to be a personal challenge and it is something I felt I could do to make a difference and honour little Jed’s memory”.
