Why I'm riding in the Distance Challenge

I’m riding for a reason again during Tour Down Under 2019 and championing the Distance Challenge - a new way for bike riders to put in an effort and raise funds for Cancer Council SA.

I hope you’ll back me with a donation. It would be much appreciated. Just hit this link:

The Distance Challenge in 'Ride for a reason' lets you set your own goal and complete it any time throughout Tour Week - I plan to ride 120km across the 11 days.

My motivation to ride for a reason is simple - like many South Australians, cancer has affected our family deeply. My wife Susie, my sister-in-law and many friends have been touched by it.

I’m determined to do my bit to raise funds to help Cancer Council SA, especially in supporting research and breakthroughs right here in Adelaide at SAHMRI and our Universities. That research alone inspires me to get on the bike and ride to make a difference.

I'm Riding for a Reason in January

I’m challenging myself during the 2019 Santos Tour Down Under this January with the Ride for a reason team to fundraise and help beat cancer.

The money raised through Ride for a reason enables Cancer Council to fund vital prevention, research, advocacy and support programs that save lives. 

With one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, the need to find better ways to detect and treat cancer is real.

Donate to support my ride and let’s help beat cancer together!
