Thanks for visiting this page.

Every day, 70 Aussie men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. That’s why I’ve decided to become an agent of change by joining The Long Ride Australia 2024

I’ll be taking on the challenge of The Long Ride to support men and their families impacted by a prostate cancer diagnosis. From game-changing research to specialised mental and physical care, there is so much more we can, and must, do to save the lives of the men we love.

The Long Ride Australia 2024 will see me join the Brisbane contingent heading to Port Douglas via St George, Charleville, Longreach, Charters Towers and Atherton over 6 days and more than 3000 kms on my BMW R1250 GSA "Bumblebee".

Please support the team that can save lives by making a tax-deductible donation to my ride campaign in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

My Updates

Huge Support from Coral Towers Apartments in Cairns

Sunday 10th Mar

As we all know the ride sees us finish up in Port Douglas. However that's not the trip over for our team who then have to hit the road for the trip back to the Gold Coast. To ensure we are rested up, Tony and Sandy of Coral Towers Apartments in Cairns, in addition to financial sponsorship already received, have donated to our team, two nights accommodation in the resort. This means a lot to us and sets us up for the return ride. You can check out Coral Towers at https://coraltowers.com.au/

Huge thanks to Tony and Sandy for this.

Reset the Target

Thursday 7th Mar

As you can see we reached the $1000 in donations milestone.

That being the case I have bumped the target up to $1500 to maintain the momentum - reminds me a little of budgets in the Bank - seeing you got that we shall add some more :-)

Thanks again everyone - I'm running hard at this to make a difference.

Cracked the first milestone

Sunday 3rd Mar

A huge thank you again to all my supporters. Another donation today from a very good friend has seen us eclipse the initial fundraising target.

Whilst I am absolutely thrilled with that, we won’t stop there.

Please share the link with family, friends and colleagues and let’s look to make a difference.

THANK YOU EVERYONE.
